Anyone who is running z/OS 1.8 in a mixed level environment and who also keep a close eye on PTFs that go PE and restore them, watch out for this one. OA19950 describes a console issue and marks OA10632 PE. However, OA10632 is the coexistance PTF that lets 1.8 IPL into a sysplex with lower leve

Bob, Have you taken a look at Chapter 2 in the "z/OS Init and Tuning Guide"? It really does a good job of explaining the aux storage manager and the size and usage of local page datasets. If you have a system tool like Sysview (or MXI, RMF, Omegamon, Mainview..etc etc), you can observe the aux
