It's an approximation of how many pages are needed by members of the dispatch list in order to run. It's sort of kind of meaningless, especially in linux vm environments where linux machines have gigantic working sets. Performance reports can give a better number. David Harris, Nick J. rote:
Hello All, We are puzzled about storage utilization with Linux guests running under VM and would appreciate any clarification if possible. We are running seven Linux guests each defined with 2G of storage along with the normal VM service guests under z/VM 5.1 in an IFL on a z890 box. The IFL has 11G of real storage of which 1G has been defined as expanded. When I enter the command 'cp indicate load' under MAINT on VM it returns with ============================================================ cp ind load AVGPROC-006% 01 XSTORE-000001/SEC MIGRATE-0000/SEC MDC READS-000001/SEC WRITES-000001/SEC HIT RATIO-100% STORAGE-031% PAGING-0015/SEC STEAL-000% Q0-00000(00000) DORMANT-00013 Q1-00001(00000) E1-00000(00000) Q2-00000(00000) EXPAN-001 E2-00000(00000) Q3-00002(00000) EXPAN-001 E3-00000(00000) PROC 0000-006% LIMITED-00000 ============================================================ Does the STORAGE-31% tell us we are using 31% of 11G of real? If so why would we see paging other than zeros? TIA. Thanks, Nick Harris Lead Systems Programmer Texas Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company P.O.
