Creating a private memory pool
Private memory pools (also known as user-defined memory pools) can be used by IBM-supplied subsystems or by user-defined subsystems. You can define up to a maximum of 10 memory pool definitions for a subsystem. You create a private memory pool in the subsystem description.
To create a private memory pool, use the character-based interface.
Command: Create Subsystem Description (CRTSBSD) POOLS
parameter.
Command: Change Subsystem Description (CHGSBSD) POOLS parameter.
Note: Although each subsystem description can have as many
as 10 user-defined memory pools, there is an operation limitation
of no more than 64 memory pools that can be active at any time. (This
includes the Base memory pool and the Machine memory pool.) If the
maximum allocation limit is reached before all of the memory pools
for a subsystem are allocated, the Base pool is used for any routing
steps that still require a memory pool.
