Overcommitting resources is good, because it is the only way to enforce sharing resources. But defining a single Linux guest larger than your total z/VM storage is just bragging. And that is bad ;-) As Rich says, you can't reduce the virtual machine size without also adjusting Oracle's expectations (SGA and PGA). Otherwise Linux would need to swap those areas and things go bad as well with two managers involved. Rob -- Rob van der Heij Velocity Software http://www.velocitysoftware.com/
