Re: V4R5M0 Upgrade to V5R2M0 uses 4GB

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Al and Kirk...just needed a reality check. I hadn't done an 
upgrade on a small system like this before.

So the SPENDMONEY command is needed in this case to obtain some 
additional DASD from E-bay.....

Any idea on this increasing % ASP phenomenon?  I guess I'll try starting 
SBS one at a time and see which one triggers the increasing % ASP 
utilization.
