Re: Sanity check?
The idea is not unreasonable. We have discussed plan canidates in the past that would be more graceful about page space filling up. Not much agreement on what to do. This particular way of causing havoc wasn't discussed. I'll pass it on to others to think about. I don't recall having seen any formal requirements for this, but seems reasonable. On a side note, there is actual a limit on the size of individual virtual machines due to various processor implementations. On your box it happens to be 1TB. So even though you defined it larger, CP limited it to a 1TB guest. Since the same directory could be run on various machines, we don't enforce the max until you actually try to logon.

SYSTEM CONFIG with IMBEDs
The CPSYNTAX utility will check the syntax of system configuration files, which is good, but does anybody have a tool/EXEC that shows the active statements after IMBEDs and overriding statements are processed?

When you used the word "define", I thought you meant the DEFINE command. And yes, you can put any (acceptable) value in the directory, but CP will enforce the maximum storage size at LOGON time according to the machine restrictions. Ray

I have to ask. How did you manage to define a virtual machine whose size was 1500G? There's a machine-dependent limit on the maximum virtual storage size (256GB for a z990, 1TB for a z9), so are you sure you successfully defined 1500G? Or did CP enforce the maximum supported for your machine? (Or maybe there's some way I'm not aware of to bypass this limit.)

This was our test environment - z/VM 5.3, about 120 active VMs, 24 GB memory divided 20 central and 4 expanded, and 54 mod-3s as paging devices. STORBUF is 300 300 300.
