With our current configuration - 36GB main, 26GB XSTORE, 19 3390-03s for
paging, we saw very low numbers (< 10%) when we entered Q ALLOC PAGE while
running 4.4. Now, on 5.2, the results of the query show about 50% of the
space is in use. Is this normal?

Richard,
The obvious question is "what else (other than the release of z/VM) has
changed?" Is the storage and paging configuration the same? Has minidisk
cache been capped (so it's not consuming vast amounts of both main and
expanded storage)? Is the workload the same or has it grown?
Inquiring minds need to know these answers and more before making any
suggestions or offering any hypotheses.
