RSM_RSU

Description:

The RSU setting in IEASYSxx, which controls the amount of central storage that can be reconfigured.

Reason for check:

IBM® suggest that the RSU setting should be set to 0. However, this would not be valid if you have a need to reconfigure storage. Setting RSU=0 in IEASYSxx will improve performance.

z/OS® releases the check applies to:

z/OS V1R4 and later, in both ESA and z/Architecture® modes.

User override of IBM values:

The following shows the default keywords for the check, which you can override on either a POLICY statement in the HZSPRMxx parmlib member or on a MODIFY command. This statement may be copied and modified to override the check defaults:

UPDATE,
CHECK(IBMRSM,RSM_RSU),
INTERVAL(ONETIME),
SEVERITY(LOW),
DATE('date_of_the_change')

Parameters accepted:
