try screen 35 for a real time minute by minute breakdown of some good values for CPU, xstore and paging. For real storage utilization I'd be more concerned with expanded storage utilization, volume of transfer to/from xstore, and paging bandwidth and utilization. Main storage utilization doesn't really tell us all that much in most circumstances. David

We are trying to determine if another IFL is needed or more real storage on the box. Thanks Brian
