Description
The SERVNSA parameter, along with the SERVNSSZ parameter, control non-swappable server areas that are placed above the 2G bar.
Each server table to be allocated above the bar is controlled by a bit in SERVNSA; if the bit is on, the corresponding server table is allocated above the bar.
The bits are:
| Bit | Server table placed above the bar |
|---|---|
X'02000000' | FTBL |
X'00800000' | GTBL — requires version 7.5 or later of Model 204. |
X'00004000' | NTBL — requires version 7.5 or later of Model 204. |
X'00002000' | QTBL — requires version 7.5 or later of Model 204. |
X'00080000' | STBL — requires version 7.6 or later of Model 204. |
X'00040000' | VTBL — requires version 7.6 or later of Model 204. |
SERVNSSZ (server non-swappable size) is the amount of space in bytes required for the above-the-bar server tables per user. The total amount of storage allocated for non-swappable server areas equals SERVNSSZ rounded to 4 K and multiplied by NUSERS. When sizing SERVNSSZ, it should accomodate the largest non-swappable table sizes that might be needed.
The SERVNSA parameter is new in version 7.4 of Model 204.
