Re: Single-level storage

Just a hypothetical... But it was my understanding that with
single-level storage on the iSeries, the system sees RAM and DASD as the 
same and if you request something from disk, it pulls it in to memory
until something else kicks it out.  But if you have more main storage
than disk, it shouldn't ever get booted (with exception of logs and temp 
and whatnot).
This is true at the MI level but SLIC has to care about the difference. At some level in all machines something has to know whether the stuff you want is on DASD or in Main Storage.
