2GB Central storage and 6 Expanded. Following the ROT it should probably be the other way around: 6 central, 2 Expanded. Which level of z/VM are you running?
BTW: a name change of a guest could affect its behaviour if you have some automated operator: it could react to the LOGON message of a guest and depending on its userid issue CP "performance" commands. Similar, a VMUTIL machine could turn things on/off for a given userid at certain times, not to forget VM's incantatio of a Workload Manager (what was its name again???) 2008/3/20, Gentry, Stephen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > All of this with 8gig?
