Reno NV Could you post more detail please? I run page space of up to 1 GB on our compute servers. What does the command "lsvg rootvg" list for "FREE PPs:" ? What is the out put of "lsps -a"? Now when you increase the pages space using the command "chps -s n hd6" (where n is the number of 4 meg blocks to add to page space hd6) what is the result? NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT IBM RECOMMEND OR SUPPORTED METHODS. I am not speaking for IBM. You can tell because I listed the commands not the smit interface to them. Paul
