Ok, that makes sense, then. The SYSTEM address space is the base space of the SYSTEM VMDBK, pregenned at address x'2000', it's represented by the first ASCBK on the VMDASCBK queue. If it's not in there, check the rest of the ASCBKs on the queue, depending on how the reporting works, some of th

I created a Hipersockets VLAN. I stopped the interface in TCPIP, detached the real hipersockets, defined a NIC and coupled it to the VLAN. I did the same on the z/OS guest, (which required an IPL, the devices were still active after stopping the adapter, VTAM?) and now the z/VM on the VLAN and the

The only difference I see is that I have a port name in z/VM that i do not have in z/OS. But the z/OS that works does not have a port name specified either. *q lan tstlan details* LAN SYSTEM TSTLAN Type: HIPERS Connected: 2Maxconn: INFINITE PERSISTENT UNRESTRICTED IPMFS:

My recollection is that the port name must be the same everywhere or absent everywhere. Try removing your port names and see if that works. Mark Pace wrote: The only difference I see is that I have a port name in z/VM that i do not have in z/OS. But the z/OS that works does not have a port

I remember that also, but it was many years ago. The z/OS in an LPAR works without a portname, and the z/VM and z/OS worked on the VLAN, one with a portname and one without, so I really don't think that's it. I did remove the portnames from my VM TCPIP stacks and restarted them, then stopped and

I keep hearing things like shouldn't be overcommitted in prod more than 2:1 or 3 or 4:1 in test. How is that calculated? Can I just take the (Pageable storage number + Pages on DASD ) / pageable storage number? Marcy This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information. If

Sum up the default virtual storage allocation for each running guest on the system and divide that by the total amount of central storage. Can I just take the (Pageable storage number + Pages on DASD ) / pageable storage number? That just gives you your overcommit ratio at this second - not

But what about the vdisk blocks? Those really need to be taken into consideration too. If someone decided the right number for VM size was too low, those vdisk blocks would be making up the impact to memory, maybe a lot. Marcy Cortes This message may contain confidential and/or privileged

Errr... yeah - them too... The problem will be when you've allocated huge vdisks for all your production systems based on the old Swap = 2X main memory ROT. In that example - you're basically tripling your overcommit ratio by including the vdisks. This also can have a large cost in terms of CP

Well, only if the server uses them. If you have a 1.5G server and it is using 1.5 Gig of swap space in VDISK then it is an impact of 3G virtual, right? If you have a 1.5G server and it is not swapping, it's impact is 1.5G virtual. So maybe more like (sum (guest virtual storage sizes) + sum
