Re: Multiple zVM Lpars - Resource consumption

I agree of most of the points, but there is a lot more to memory for VM than 64 MB, but that is up to you. 1. You will have a duplicate area for MDC. I don't know. Are you planning on decreasing MDC on LPAR0 to give to LPAR1 or just duplicate it. I use 100 MB for MDC on each of two LPARs, b

Sergio, You sound relatively new to z/VM. I'm not sure it will help directly in this case, but it might be of general help to examine the redpaper "Multiple z/OS Virtual Machines on z/VM" found at: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp4507.html?Open&pdfbookmark There are CP directory e

Re: Multiple zVM Lpars - Resource consumption

I have a site like you describe: 2 z/VM LPARs sharing all the IFLs, also sharing channels to dasd, tape, etc. One LPAR for test/development Linux guests, the second for production linux guests. The PRSM overhead seems negligible, 0.5-0.6%. The memory for linux guests dwarfs the memory needed to r

Sergio, Our mainframe network guy suggests that some messages on the z/OS log before what you included might have indicated the beginning of the problem. Without knowing that your ZOS17 guest only had 500M, he suggested that it might be running short on storage, and that JES was already compl

Multiple zVM Lpars - Resource consumption

Can anyone give me an estimate on additional resource consumption if we take one z/VM lpar with 'x' IFL's, 'y' GB of memory and 'z' Linux guests and we create an additional z/VM lpar sharing some/all of the IFL's, taking some amount of the memory and some of the zLinux guests. I know that we will

It has used GETFILES from the very early days. I may have to abandon it and add some logic if it doesn't specify OLDDATEREF by default. Of course, this assumes that updating the reference date when one only looks at the files is bad. One could take the position that the user was really referenci
