About the only way I know of is to set 'hard caps' on each LPAR such that the sum is 28.
For the questions of other posters: yes, IBM is offering serious software pricing incentives for you to buy a box much larger than you really need. Serious. Upwards of 90% in specific cases. Not only IBM, but other vendors are getting on the bandwagon. A caveat in the current pricing is that the price is still based on the vector sum of consumption during an hour, but we don't currently have a way to limit that overall consumption other than the two suggestions above. Another caveat is that there is no concept of a 'test' LPAR. If you run one, you have to pay for it. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jón Vidar Gunnarsson Sent: Friday, May 05, 2006 5:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Capping in Z890 Hello I have been asked to CAP my Z890 so it cant use more that 28 MSU.
