AIX  3.1.3,  running  out  of paging  space altogether  is what we are
experiencing according  to errpt (SNA stuff is   what runs out).  smit
isn't  allowing paging  space to be changed,  IBM sent  a  "fix" which
didn't help much   either...    this 6000  running   SNA is   crashing
apparently from this   problem.  obviously  this  isn't  a reply,  but
another log on the fire.

any help would be appreciated.

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.
