The "less than 100%" perm space only applies to volume one in the system
volume set. Other volumes in the system volume set may have 100%.

The general rule of thumb I have always been told is:

LDEV 1 = 75% PERM, 75% TRANS.
All others in the system volume set (MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET) 100% PERM,
100% TRANS

Non-system volume sets never have transient space - they only have permanent
space. So any volume in a non-system volume set should be configured at 100%
Perm. The amount of transient space on a non-system volume does not matter.

Quoting Jose' <[log in to unmask]>:

For user (ie, non-system) volume-sets, the limits can be anything up to
100%.  However, volumes in the system volume set
(MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET) are limited to something less than 100%
because some amount of transient space on the system is required.
Exactly how high MPE allows depends on the size of the volume.  You can
use trial and error to determine how high the setting is allowed.
