If you can't measure it, you can't tune it. ... The original quote was more general: “If you can't measure it, you can't manage it”. “Tuning” is just one aspect of “Managing”. -teD Me? A skeptic? I trust you have proof! --

From: Peter Relson Time to enflame the waters... I've been away for a couple of days. Seems this didn't even register a bite. Time for me to rectify that oversight. There is absolutely nothing wrong, incorrect, improper, or unexpected about any system space (GRS) using as much memory above

I am differentiating GRS from DB2 in this regard. One thing to remember: DB2 is already (in most shops) using HIPERPOOLs (even in 64-bit mode). What V8 will do is move all of those into its own adress space. So, you are alread back-stored in AUX. What the issue is, what happens when the DBA

If the system needs the storage to do its job, then it needs the storage (emphasis on needs). And all that you would do is break the system by trying to impose a limit where none should be imposed. ... Peter, A very valid point. And, in DB2's, case it was not a secret. And, it is “needed”;

Well, I just ran Rolands new showzos on both z/OS 1.4 and 1.6. For 1.4, all is well with the world (except for what we already knew and IRLM also hardcodes the memlim with 2GB). In 1.6, not only does GRS overwrite the MEMLIMIT with 64PB, it also has 4 objects allocated above the bar with 19GB
