I know that in my case, the 3 paging spaces, although much different in
size allocated, are roughly the same percentage used.

So, if rootvg has hd6 of 512MB, there is no point in making any additional
paging space larger than 512MB.
I have hd6 of 512MB and 2 additional of 4GB for a system with 8GB or real.
hd6 is my dump space too.
Are there any other reasons to have paging spaces larger than hd6?
I guess it's just easy and performs better to use single dedicated paging
drives.

Subject: Paging space question
I am assisting a DBA with troubleshooting a system (SP node, AIX 4.3.3 ML
10). I wish to make a statement to management, but I want to confirm it
first...
Can anyone confirm the following statement for me (and provide resources) ?
"If you have a system with more than one paging space, and they happen to
be different sizes, the system will not use any of the larger paging
space(es) beyond the size of the smaller"
For example
System A has 3 paging spaces configured as follows:
1024MB
512MB
2048MB
AIX will not use more than 512MB of ANY of the paging spaces.
Is this true ? I recall that it is (or was at one time).
Thanks!
