APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-----------------------------------------------
There is an internal SMFSUNMAP_WORKER task(s) that is currently
being used when IBMi is connected to SVC based external storage
to help open up actual free space on the external storage luns.
This worker task can be quite agressive in some environments,
therefore a code change is going to be a result of this APAR
which will change the default pacing behavior by this task and
allow the ability to modify if needed through an Advanced
Analysis Macro.

CORRECTION FOR APAR MA48078 :
-----------------------------
The default pacing behavior will be changed to slow the task
down.

CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR MA48078 :
--------------------------------
None.


Activation Instructions


None.




Special Instructions


An IPL is required to pick up the new defaults.


Default Instructions

THIS PTF CAN BE APPLIED IMMEDIATE OR DELAYED.
