Description

The SERVNSA parameter, along with the SERVNSSZ parameter, controls 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:

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 accommodate the largest non-swappable table sizes that might be needed.

  • The maximum non-swappable setting for version 7.4 is X'02000000'.
  • The maximum non-swappable setting for version 7.5 is X'02806000'.
  • The maximum non-swappable setting for version 7.6 is X'1BDF6000'.
  • The maximum non-swappable setting for version 7.9 is X'FFFFE000'.
  • If all tables are placed within the non-swappable server, NUSER=NSERV is required. Additionally, SERVNSA=x'FFFFF000' may be abbreviated as SERVNSA=-1. In Model 204 7.5 and later, QTBL and NTBL can alternatively be placed above-the-bar in a swappable area. This can be indicated with the SERVGA and SERVGSZ parameters.

    Note: The same bits should not be set in both SERVNSA and SERVGA – if they are, an error message will be issued and the online will fail to come up.

    In Model 204 7.9 and later, if PDL is placed above-the-bar it is recommended that LPDLST be set to its maximum value of 65536.
