Recommendations for storage map planning

Planning storage maps as described below helps avoiding storage fragmentation and remove dependencies on the order of activation of LPs.

For more information and examples of storage map planning, see the publications listed for dynamic storage reconfiguration in About this publication.

Map all LPs that require an origin from the bottom up (that is, start with 0 MB and build upward).

If no origin is specified for an LP, the system assigns the storage to the LP using a top-down first-fit algorithm.
