Kees,

My recollection is the first WSC flash mentioning this on the 3090s was to
use CPENABLE(0,0), and it has switched between 10,30 and 0,0 at least twice
since then.

http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/032f6e163324983085256b79
007f5aec/80154cc31e2cc90d86256fa9000766e7/$FILE/CPENABLE_vz10.pdf shows some
of the more recent ITR recommendations. It least it confirmed that my memory
is not too dodgy.

This document does not describe how the ITR is measured - is it a bunch of
LPARS with equal weights and IO loads, or is there a "squashed" LPAR with a
high IO rate like Joe describes. 

Either way it comes across as a recommendation and not a rule. I don't see
why the squashed LPAR could not have CPENABLE(0,0) while the others stayed
with (10,30). In the absence of CA-ASTEX or TMON I'd say %TPI would be the
measure of change besides the LPAR throughput that Joe is measuring.
