SET SHARE ABSOLUTE/RELATIVE

2011-02-07 Thread Hughes, Jim
I've read the CP COMMAND manual and the PERFORMANCE manual regarding the SET SHARE command and how it works. Would someone care to comment on how you have used them for your z/VSE production and guest machines? What would suggest for TCPIP/RSCS/VTAM SET SHARE values? Thanks in advance.

2011-02-07 Thread McBride, Catherine
A while ago a very experienced VM person from IBM suggested that we not use ABSOLUTE unless you absolutely must cap off a guest to keep it from running away with your real processors. We used that setting on our test system only. Our VSE TOR and VM guest TCPIP both had high relative shares (1

We use absloute shares for all our VSEs to guarentee them CPU time, no LIMITHARD. I manually do a LIMITHARD on a VSE machine when the CPU is close to 100% due to probably many batch jobs running in one VSE. This is done so that our CMS users get some time. Once the CPU goes down, usually

A slight correction... It's VMRMSVM that manages the share settings not PerformanceToolkit.. There are many ways to influence how VMRMSVM manages the share values. The concept is similar to setting PRTY in VSE, the partitions with the highest I/O (high wait states) gets the higher priority and the

Catherine, I don't think your understanding of SHARE is backwards, but your expectation of what the performance manager will do might be. I suspect it's trying to keep heavy CPU users from hogging the processors. To get back to the original question, Jim, I think you need to describe what

Thanks for the reply Marty. Long time, no see. Our VSE systems are mainly interactive CICS or IDMS/DC systems during the day. Night time they become batch machines. The CICS and IDMS/DC systems are mainly accessed via VTAM. Our three production systems are each set to ABSOLUTE 20%

Hi Jim, We run one production VSE guest, runs IDMS/DC (no CICS) all the time. Batch happens throughout the day, much of it user driven, so day is usually busier for batch than night. That guest gets absolute share 50% and LIMITSOFT of 80%. We have a VSE development guest that gets absolute

Very few people understand the scheduler, and what it does - What it does, it does very well. You just have to understand the language. Rob did some recent experiments that validated how it works, and validated how little functions like VRM really help your workloads (except by accident).
