Pagepool enhancements

Today, the pagepool value in GPFS is set once typically at install. However if the workloads change, the setting needs to be done by customer intervention. One example, the pagepool needs to be readjusted when there is not enough memory left for the failover of the recovery group to work. This design is not feasible as it is disruptive. This RFE is to design a way for Scale to acquire or release the memory whenever it is feasible dynamically and not to require human intervention nor comprise the data access

    Making this change automatic would be a substantial design change. In the future we will work on simplifying the documentation on optimizing this setting

    In the client use case, the pagepool may grow or shrink as needed without any intervention. For example, the pagepool usage will be used higher with AFM than non-AFM use cases.
