Hardware Reserves

Because GDIF propagates RESERVE requests to all systems as global ENQ requests, you can improve system performance by eliminating hardware reserves that are associated with RESERVE requests.

GDIF lets you decide which hardware reserves to retain and which to eliminate. You can set a default value that applies to hardware reserves associated with RESERVE requests that GDIF is propagating, and you can override this value for specific QNAMEs and RNAMEs.
