John,
I didn't think 32 engine support was available until 1.7. Are you
saying it's in 1.6 (with the right PTFs)?
Yes.
We announced the intent to support 32-way images on R6 in February:
Scale up and scale out: z/OS V1.6 currently allows you to scale
up in a single logical partition from 1 processor to 24 with good
scalability and to scale out in a Parallel Sysplex® for higher
availability. IBM plans to support up to 32 processors in a
single logical partition on z990 servers on z/OS V1.6 in June
2005. Scalability is expected to be good all the way from 1
processor to 32.
Notes
* This is based on internal IBM lab measurements.
* Performance data for this new function is planned to be
published after general availability.
* When you are using the new zSeries Application Assist
Processor (zAAP), which provides a specialized z/OS Java™
execution environment, the total number of processors defined in
a z/OS logical partition is the sum of general purpose processors
(CPs) and zSeries zAAPs.
