Hi Richard,

to know exactly how many RAM TSM is eating, try the following :

% ps -eaf | grep dsmserv --> GET PID
% svmon -P <pid>

   ----------- physical RAM pages (4Ko) -------+
                                               v
  Pid                         Command        Inuse        Pin      Pgspace
11638                      dsmserv.42        55741         16        37293
                                               |
Pid:  11638                                    +----> 217 MB
Command:  dsmserv.42
