There are severa l different forms of the constraint, and all are dependent on workload. Ev en something as apparently unrelated as how dense or sparse the guests' stor age reference patterns tend to be can greatly influence the degree to which t he constraint will be an issue for a given total virtual storage size. I'm not sure if we even have typical or average numbers, but I can ask around. - Bill Holder, z/VM Development, IBM
