Sounds like you are close to CPU saturated - and upgrades always add overhead. Let's say ... (picks number out of air ...) 3, maybe up to 5%. What do your SLAs say - and what are your goals ???. It's easy for "loved ones" to over-achieve (and for people to get used to this) when there is (even a little) spare horsepower. When there is contention, you find the goals get enforced more tightly. If you are now starting to miss goals, finding out why would be a good place to start. Basically it's a matter of legwork with the RMF reports - and checking WLM definitions to make sure it really says what your SLAs are. There are even people out there that offer to do this for you for a fee - I wouldn't be surprised if you hear from some of them ... :o) Shane ... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
