Rex, CIU = Customer Initiated Upgrade Customer Initiated Upgrade (CIU) is the capability for the z990 (and I imagine a z900) user to initiate a permanent upgrade for CPs, ICFs, IFLs, zAAPs, and/or memory via the Web, using IBM Resource Link. CIU is similar to CUoD, but the capacity growth can be added by the customer. The customer also has the ability to unassign previously purchased CPs and IFLs processors via CIU. CIU requires the CIU Enablement feature (FC 9898) installed. Bob Richards VP, Enterprise Technologist Enterprise Technology Infrastructure SunTrust Banks, Inc. (404) 575-2798
Seeing beyond money (sm) -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pommier, Rex R. Sent: Friday, March 24, 2006 12:20 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: z900 "Capacity Models"? According to the following book, there are 3 lines in the z900 series. The 101-109 have a book that contains 12 PUs, of which up to 9 can be normal processors (CP's). Even though IBM doesn't spell it out this way, the 1C1 thru 1C9 and the 110-116 actually form a single line or processors, having a book that contains 20 PU's of which up to 16 can be CP's. These machines have the same clock speed as the 101-109 line. The turbo line, which is the 2C1-2C9 and 210-216 models also have the 20 PU book, again with up to 16 MP's in the box. The clock speed on this line is faster than the other 2 lines (hence the turbo definition). According to the book, any of the three lines can be upgraded within the line by using CUoD or CIU (whatever that is). Based on the above, my guess is that the "capacity" models simply mean they have the 20 PU book rather than the 12 PU book, thus allowing more capacity within the same box without any kind of hardware upgrade. http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/library/refguides/pdf/g326 3092.pdf LEGAL DISCLAIMER The information transmitted is intended solely for the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
