Could you post more detail please? I run page space of up to 1 GB on our
compute servers. 

What does the command "lsvg rootvg" list for "FREE PPs:" ?
What is the out put of "lsps -a"?

Now when you increase the pages space using the command "chps -s n hd6" 
(where n is the number of 4 meg blocks to add to page space hd6)
what is the result?

NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT IBM RECOMMEND OR SUPPORTED METHODS.
I am not speaking for IBM.
You can tell because I listed the commands not the smit interface to them.
