TIA, I've written and talked about this a lot over the years. As always, the answer is that 'it depends'.
The primary factors include how different the workloads are amoung the partitions, in addition to what the requirement for the workloads are. Just as a couple of points of reference: - I wrote an article for zJournal titled 'WLM Sysplex Management', and this article addresses your question. You can visit www.zjournal.com for an online copy of this article. Go to author link and look for my name. - You (or anyone else) can email me if you would like a copy of my presentation on this exact subject. The presentation slides cover a little more than the zJournal article does. Read the article and/or ask me for a copy of the presentation. I hope it gives you some more insight to help you answer your question.
