I'm trying to understand how to set up Defined Capacity for an LPAR.
Unfortunately HMC help is not helpful and software manuals do not

My goal is to set up Defined Capacity for one LPAR. No groups.

RESETs can be logged in SMF7x records. I don't know in what detail, but you
might want to check if the info you desire is there.

I don't think it was a fluke that it worked. I think it worked as
designed.
I think that you need to look at the SMS constructs assigned to the
catalog when it was being allocated without your OBJECT(VOLUMES statement
as it appears to me the Guaranteed Space attribute was what was
Very true. Thanks for pointing this problem out.
Another possible solution, which I did with different IBM module, is to
write a small HLASM program. This program would verify how it was called by

Radoswaw,
One to the manuals has a chapter IRD, I think you will find there that the WLM
checkbox triggers IRDs weight management.
From my experience: forget IRD on modern machines. CPU management is disabled
by Hiperdispatch and weight management and softcapping do not cooperate.
Kees.
Garth,
I modified the SC ACS routine so as to exclude the GUASPACE however I got the
same result. What I think is if a CATALOG existed on a non-SMS volume and then
placed on a SMS manged volume the OBJECT VOLUME parms is required.
I ran another test. I allocated a CATALOG on a non-sms

Selecting WLM from one processor details automatically selects WLM from

Yes, LPAR Clusters are IRD managed groups of LPARs.
Don't forget to read about Weight in relation to 'phantom load' and 'capping

Good question. I don't know the TCB/RB structure that REXX uses. If I had
time, I'd blow up some programs to be a dump. But I'm a bit busy right now.

I agree with Gerhard.

and easily achieved using RACF or an equivalent. To go further is
unwise for at least three reasons.

The MIGLIB you use for IPCS should be identical to the one on the

conceivably cause problems.
Will IPCS reliably report a mismatch down to that level of detail?
I am fluent in C/C++ and have a fast checksum in my bag of tricks, FWIW.
