I may be wrong, but I thought that if you had just 1 box, and you ran
work in 1 Lpar that is considered under the new pricing, and other
work such as Cobol and CICS in another lpar, that that was the only
way you could get the cheaper price on the 'New Workload'. Is my
statement correct?
You might want to spend some time looking over the various pricing
options at http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/resources/swprice/index.html
In your prior post, you said sysplex was needed for "variable" pricing.
I took that to mean "sub-capacity" pricing. You do not need sysplex to
use sub-capacity pricing:

If you're interested in pricing for so-called "new" applications, that
would be zNALC which also does not require sysplex.

The old NALC pricing metric did require parallel sysplex. In any case, I
don't consider the words "new" and "variable" to be synonymous... ;-)
