This assumes that no one does anything other than use those values. Rob's point is that someone might do something different and hurt overall system performance. I think the idea of having the VDISK defined in the directory, and using SWAPGEN's REUSE option that Rich mentioned is the "safest" way to do this. As at least one person on the list has seen, if you allow "too much" VDISK to be defined and it _gets_used_, it can really hurt you. Regarding using PROFILE EXEC versus COMMAND statements in the CP directory, there is a place for both. One of the benefits of the COMMAND statement is that it gets executed, regardless of the privileges associated with the virtual machine. So, you can have arbitrary guests issue commands at logon time that they would not otherwise be able to in PROFILE EXEC. The conditional logic that PROFILE EXEC provides gives you all sorts of other flexibiltiy.
