APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The system paged out 4k pages even though there was an
    adequate donor pool of 64k pages. Further investigation
    showed that the system was trying to use reserved frames
    instead of demoting 64k pages.
    

Local fix

  • Turn off 64K pages completely or turn off MPSS.
    

Problem summary

  • 4K page working storage pages being stolen when there are
    large number of 64K free pages.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Be more aggressive in MPSS demotion of 64K pages to 4K pages
    and steal more MPSS reserved pages per LRUD invocation.
    

Temporary fix
