Alan, I disagree. Yes, you still have the possibility of a resource shortage. However, partitioning provides the installation more flexibility in protecting critical resources. As far as how should CP respond, if sufficient page space is unavailable within a particular backing storage pool

Turned out to be a wrong duplex setting on the switch in that remote office. Apparently VM was more susceptible to it than OS/390, but we expect that the OS/390 applications were running very slowly even though they weren't dropping. Terry From: The IBM z/VM

I don't think the analogy to a ping attack is a particularly fair one. Yes, from the perspective of an innocent third user, they look the same, perhaps, but they aren't. If the attack were made through some sort of security gate that defaults to closed state which the sysadmin had

The real ultimate solution would have been to do a restart dump so that IBM could take a look at what was last happening on your system. Hopefully your OPERATOR id has its console output spooled to someplace. Type Q R OPERATOR or Q P OPERATOR. If you don't have VM:Spool, you need to get those
