Adding Real memory Dyanamically

Hello, We are having z10 box with z/OS 2.1 LPAR running. Is it possible to add a Real Memory Dynamically without any outage. I am searching for Real Memory addition dynamically but I am not getting hit especially for z10 box. Any Suggestions ? Nathan ---

Re: Adding Real memory Dyanamically

Do you want to add memory to the z10 or to the LPAR? The first is possible without downtime, the second only if you have configured reserved memory in the LPAR profile definition. Kees. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf O

Data Replication

We are looking at solutions to replicate DB2 data on MVS into Hadoop on the Mapr platform. One solution being reviewed is IBM(r) InfoSphere(tm) Data Replication for DB2 (IBM IIR CDC) running on MVS. I'm wondering how many shops out there are using this solution? Any user experience's or comment

Re: Memory for z/OS 2.1

Depends on what you want to run in z/OS. Until 2 years ago, we ran a Communication Management System with VTAM and Netview and some other tasks in 1 GB. This was large enough to avoid paging, so I expect 0.5GB will be sufficient to run z/OS. Kees. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe

Re: Adding Real memory Dyanamically

I believe it is only possible WITHOUT downtime if you are have a CEC that is multibook, and then when they do the change, that entire book comes offline, and removed, reducing your processing capacity during that time. We had the procedure done a processor or two ago.
