We are too. According to my BigFix guy, he created a "group and site with auto-membership based on the OS-name" that throttled the cpu the clients are allowed to use (.5% in our case--looks like Harley's folk let them have a little more) and restricted gathering the inventory to what we determined was the off-hours (think it turns out to be 5-6 in the morning). So any new s390x server that comes online with the bigfix client installed and checks in to the hub would get those settings automatically.
Does that help any? It's kinda greek to me, but I'm hoping it'll make sense to anyone familiar with bigfix customization. I do know that since we did it, we haven't had any issues.

I am. The team that manages BigFix on the x86 server tweaked a setting so that it didn't check the z servers quite as often. The change they made, which they didn't tell me what it was, reduced the CPU percentage to .7 per server.
