I propose an update to the manual for IBM i entitled "Recovering your 
system", SC41-5304.
In there is a section which goes:
As a general rule, if the main storage size is 64 MB or larger, change the 
QMCHPOOL system value
to be 15 percent of the main storage size. If the main storage size is 
less than 64 MB, change the
QMCHPOOL system value to be 20 percent of the main storage size. For a 
more precise setting of the
QMCHPOOL system value, see the Types of memory pools information center 
topic.
According to:
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v7r1m0/topic/rzamp/rzampother.htm
"Minimum memory per partition" is 256MB.
I propose changing this section to:
As a general rule change the QMCHPOOL system value to be 15 percent of the 
main storage size. For a more precise setting of the
QMCHPOOL system value, see the Types of memory pools information center 
topic.
If IBM also chooses this time to review this and change the percent 
recommended then more power to them.
