What kind of z10 are you moving to? Subcapacity and 1 book models may not be good candidates for HiperDispatch, and could actually cause greif. Also, do you plan to turn HD on for all LPARs? Are you running z/VM in any LPAR. HD certainly can be beneficial for large n-way, multi-book z/OS

Actually, it will be interesting to see what IBM will let you do. Once you have a zAAP installed, I don't believe IBM will let you convert it to a zIIP. But, strangely, you can easily convert a zIIP to a zAAP. Since you already have a zAAP on a z9 and have paid for it, you can (logically) move

Many times, it is much easier to plan Business Resumption (DR) to a single LPAR. Mirroring DASD, Tapes (real or virtual), etc. can have many moving parts that make more sense to manage from one vantage point. A separate QA LPAR makes perfect sense if it exactly mirrors the Production LPAR (names

OK- I'll try it again. First there is the issue of Capacity. When you add specialty engines to an LPAR, the LPAR's capacity acts almost like the n-way increase. So, if you have a 10-way, and add 2 zIIPs and 2 zAAPs, that LPAR now acts almost like a 14-way. That decrease your capacity by about

Just because there is a zIIP, should you zIIPify everything? Not to start a religious war, but what percent of what is going to a zIIP? Please remember, there is overhead to use specialty processors. So you'd better be able to offload 20-30% (IMHO). -Original Message- From: IBM
