Tyler, As David indicated, QUICKDSP is a very big stick that has specific uses. Once you implement Barton's suggestion, you may want to handle prioritizing individual virtual machines with SET SHARE. Be careful there as well, the relative numbers are just that, relative to each other.

Firstly, thanks everyone for you help. I did set storbuf as recommended. David: I try and keep quickdsp off as much as possible as well. Many fruitless arguments have ensued. It may be overkill to have it set 'ON' on a test LPAR but swplt01 is a firewall, swplt05 is a WAS portal. It is 'on' partly to give my unix admins a warm fuzzy feeling. I am beseeched at all times by Unix admins and Oracle DBAs who don't understand, and therefore, do not trust z/VM scheduling. It is an uphill battle at times but progress is being made, and as my knowledge & comfort level increases, so does theirs. Thanks again, Tyler Koyl Viterra Inc. Regina, Saskatchewan
