Transient space is virtual memory.  It should be spread around all the
drives of the MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET, which is the only place you can have
transient memory anyway.

Yes, you should be chastised.  :-)

Subject: [HP3000-L] Transient space on drive 1

Greetings,

Along with security issues, Vladimir noted that there was
too much transient space used on our drive 1. We utilize a
mod 20 disk array, with drive one consisting of 2 4-gig
drives.  Here's what my DISCFREE shows...

           |    Configured     |      In Use       |     Available     |
-----------+-------------------+-------------------+-------------------+

LDEV :     1 -- (MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET:MEMBER1)
 Device    |   16411488        |   11282640 ( 69%) |    5128848 ( 31%) |
 Permanent |   15590912 ( 95%) |    9946032 ( 61%) |    5128848 ( 31%) |
 Transient |   15590912 ( 95%) |    1336608 (  8%) |    5128848 ( 31%) |


My other drives show in-use transient space at zero or one percent.
I've
never really understood exactly what this means, and we have NO problems
with performance.  So...is this a bad thing?  Should I be chastised?

Thanks,

Ernie
