While following this discussion, I have also looked long and hard at our AIX
5.1 (H50 with 3GB memory and 2GB page space) running TSM 4.1.2.9. I am
submitting vmtune and vmstat information. Any comments on this
implementation would be appreciated. Are we running O.K. Do you see any
problems?
Are there opportunities for improvement? (I think we are spending a lot of
CPU resources chasing free pages when the page-replacement algorithm scans
the PFT.) Comments?
