Subject:        TSM Server Paging:  Need an AIX Paging Expert to Help

Paging is a bad thing, but why would an AIX system page (like crazy) under
this configuration?

P660-6H1 2GB Memory
dsmserv using 384MB
Swap space is 3GB an only 12% used.
Nothing else seems to use much memory based on a ps -efl

An old MVS person like myself would say somehow something has a free page
target that is really high.  iostat and vmstat seem OK.

Any AIX gurus know the answer?
