I know this has been run into before, but I can¹t remember the solution. I¹m getting the message ³FCXPMN446E Incomplete monitor data: SAMPLE CONFIG size too small² when perfsvm comes up. This just started last night, and it has run since December without problems until last night. I remember that

Ok... I purged and redefined the DCSS, and now I don¹t get the message; I¹m waiting to see if it really starts collecting. I did ³DEFSEG 9000-AFFF SC RSTD², matching our previous segment. My questions now are, What happened to the prior segment that caused it to fail? Could the problem have been

Robert, HCPMOV6274I The sample data messages and corresponding records have been purged. Just a thought - did you log off of PERFSVM and back on? I'm wondering if that virtual machine is pointing at the previous address of MONDCSS. Mike MacIsaac mike...@us.ibm.com (845) 433-7061

Re: Perfkit SAMPLE CONFIG size too smallThis is usually caused by zVM accessing lots of additional I/O devices that it previously didn't see. While redefining the CONFIG size and the size of the MONDCSS can allow CP to again pack all of the available information into its monitor data, all of

There is no single 'right' MONDCSS size for all systems: it's about performance, so 'it depends'. The MONDCSS has to be large enough to allow the CP monitor to place all the monitor records you told it to collect in that storage area. Since most users just go and enable whole domains, it's the

I plan to talk to the hardware people in a moment to see if anything was added recently? We do have a large amount of DASD that is really owned by z/OS, which we immediately take offline, but they¹d still be in the config area. -- Robert P. Nix Mayo Foundation.~. RO-OE-5-55

Not sure if my previous note on this was distributed. There is NO problem with having an oversized MONDCSS. A small one however stops you from collecting data. Our default is now 64mb. RPN01 wrote: Our MONDCSS grew, perhaps too large, while fighting this type message a long time ago. Once
