Pool numbering schemes

Pools have two sets of numbering schemes: one is used within a subsystem and one is system-wide. The subsystem uses a set of numbers that refer to the pools it uses. Thus, when you create or change a subsystem description you can define one or more pools and label them 1, 2, 3, and so on. These are the designations of the subsystem pools, and they do not correspond to the pool numbers shown on the Work with System Status (WRKSYSSTS) display.

A different set of numbers is used to keep track of all pools on the system. The Work with Subsystems (WRKSBS) display relates the subsystem pool identifiers and the column headings to the system pool identifiers.

How pools are numbered - example

The following example illustrates how pools are numbered.

Subsystems
CRTSBSD QINTER	CRTSBSD NYSBS	CRTSBSD PASBS
Pools (1 *BASE)	Pools (1 *BASE)	Pools (1 *BASE)
(2 1200 25)	(2 500 3)	(2 1000 3)
	(3 *SHRPOOL2)	(3 *SHRPOOL2)
(System pools 2, 3)	(System pools 2, 4, 5)	(System pools 2, 5, 6)

After QINTER starts, the following pools are allocated:

System Pool Number	Description	QINTER
1	*Machine pool
2	*BASE pool	1
3	QINTER private pool	2

After NYSBS starts the following pools are allocated:

System Pool Number	Description	QINTER	NYSBS
1	*MACHINE pool
2	*BASE pool	1	1
3	QINTER private pool	2
4	NYSBS private pool		2
5	*SHRPOOL2 shared pool		3

After PASBS starts the following pools are allocated:

System Pool Number	Description	QINTER	NYSBS	PASBS
1	*MACHINE pool
2	*BASE pool	1	1	1
3	QINTER private pool	2
4	NYSBS private pool		2
5	SHRPOOL2 shared pool		3	3
6	PASBS private pool			2
