Dynamic PAV assigment has stopped

2009-06-04 Thread Dave Butts
Has anyone experienced all dynamic PAV activity just stopping? RMF reports are showing me that there have been "zero" changes to our alias assignments for the past couple weeks. Lickily our PAVs are currently spread out enough over the production UCBs that we have not had terrible performance

Yea, we checked the IODF and the WLM policy. No changes there. Last IODF change was earlier in April and everything is still set for PAV in there and in the WLM policy. I liked the idea of reactivating the policy, but I checked and we have activated new policies with minor changes a couple ti

We have HyperPAV implemented on one test box. It is actually working fine. Only the WLM dynamic PAV is not working (on the rest of the dasd farm). Still working with IBM support. They are a little stumped so far, but have been able to find that the root problem is that the DBVT (Device Block

It was an OS problem after all, and not due to the MCLs. APAR OA29370 has been opened. We have been over the 65535 device boundry for a long time, but the bug became exposed when I deleted over 5000 addresses the week before via dynamic iogen activate. The PAV assignment code broke because of t

z9 subcap engine vs. full cap

2008-08-01 Thread Dave Butts
Regarding the z9, does anyone have a view on running subcapacity engines vs. full capacity engines? For example, considering the following: z9-508 has 352 MSUs (2613 MIPs) z9-705 has 363 MSUs (2633 MIPs) The 705 is using 5 full capacity PUs and the 508 is using 8 subcap PUs. Is there any notice

Thanks Eric, I appreciate the answer. I should clarify my question. I agree with you, except that the 705 being a 5-way with full capacity engines vs. a 508 being a 8-way with subcapacity engines. Workload considerations aside for the moment, do you know if there is any sizable amount of CPU los

I assume you mean the offload datasets? They are recommended by IBM to be in a user catalog via alias. No sense in polluting the mastercat with all of those. If you meant the logger couple datasets, then they should stay in your master catalog. Dave On Thu, 23 Oct 2008 12:37:14 -0400, Mu

Yea, sounds great on the surface. But according to my IBM rep you now must purchase your memory for the z9 in a minimum block of 16Gb!!! >You missed one other simple benefit of the z9. The memory is 20% cheaper per 8GB ($8,000 vs. $10,000). Granted, it is a small thing, but a benefit nevertheles

Take a look at number of logical processors assigned in your image profiles. Looks like you have 8 physical processors in the CPC and 7 logical processors assigned to partition POD. Since your other images report the same for both fields I assume you have 8 logical processors assigned to those ima
