Ed,
Thanks for the clarification. I'll look at those web sites. I also want to
read the Redbook on Basic Sysplex operations. I forget the name, but I'm
sure I can find it quickly. It seems that most companies looking for
systems programmers now want experience in sysplex.

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

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:
http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/resources/swprice/subcap/zos.html
If you're interested in pricing for so-called "new" applications, that
would be zNALC which also does not require sysplex.
http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/resources/swprice/mlc/znalc.html
The old NALC pricing metric did require parallel sysplex. In any case, I
don't consider the words "new" and "variable" to be synonymous... ;-)
