Jan, It's best to have IBM commission a Capacity Study.
You can supply them with a peak usage week of SMF/RMF data usually at no cost.

I assume it may be possible to gather info about a latent demand for a processor. Where to look at in RMF, or in SMF to find this out? What about DB2 and/or CICS? DB2 and especially CICS do offer more and more parallellism. Any ideas if we can find this out within these subsystems?
