Defined lpars that are *never active* are not really doing anything, are they? So you are correct, there is no SCRT reporting requirement for them.
If someone in POK's pricing area as given you dispensation for your sandboxes, more power to you. If it is someone from your local team, I would get it in writing. Lastly, while RMF knows about other lpar's capacity, does it know about their product usage? Besides, it is a moot point. IBM made the rules. You do not have to play the game. But if you do play, you must follow the rules, collect the 70s and 89s from all active lpars, and run them through the SCRT process.

Whom to believe ? BTW: T&C's does not mention not-IPLed LPARs (note: inactive LPAR could also mean LPAR which is not activated). So no requirement is someone's assumption, isn't it ? > As to your "one lpar" comment, remember SCRT is not an lpar usage tool, > but a CEC usage tool, as Al pointed out. I collect for over 20 lpars and > SCRT runs quite fast the one time a month I run it. Even single LPAR contains data about other LPARs capacity. AFAIK you can run RMF reports covering all LPAR CPU usage.
