please make 20% of your storage ExStore. This only matters if you are storage constrained, so benchmarking differences when there are no constraints will not show a difference. When you become storage constrained, the 20% ExStore will easily show better performance.

I was wondering what the latest recommendation is on managing storage for z/VM with several dozen Linux guests. We are moving a z/VM lpar (let's call it VM2) with 12.3GB CS and 2.3 ES to another CEC.

We are debating whether to define the memory as all CS or to leave the 2.3 ES alone.
