The obvious answers are that the system is busy doing work, and taking storage to do whatever it is that the system is doing ;-) Sorry, but without knowing if the storage is temporary or permanent, or where or to what the storage is being allocated, difficult to guess.

The VTM tasks are "virtual terminal" tasks, as can be seen referenced in the following link:
http://www-933.ibm.com/eserver/support/fixes/fixcentral/fixdetails?fixid=MF46006

That v5r3 PTF is HIPer [High Impact Pervasive designation for APAR MA37390; apparent correction to PTF MF45892 for the memory leak, which is apparently a defective fix],
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas20659f034ac7c2a77862575140041ed47
and that code level supersedes a PTF which was provided for a memory leak problem and a prior PTF about VTM tasks not being properly reused.

520 was 71.4 and DASD is currently at 91 percent AND CLIMBING.

I did a WRKSYSACT and the top task is: VTMTS02AI.

What is going on?
