LPAR Group Capacity Limits came with z/OS 1.8, so that should be available to most sites. Requires z hardware. What some customers have not understood is you are allowed to have multiple LPAR Groups on a single machine and they are able to work across sysplex boundaries.
So some sites use one group to limit a whole machine to 80% of installed capacity regardless of the number of LPARs. I have other sites that have one group for Production LPARs, a second for Development LPARs and a third group just for QA LPARs. Al Sherkow, I/S Management Strategies, Ltd.
