>Question: >1. Can I order each book with 4 CPs that mean total 8 CPs. If you order a model S18 it will be a two book machine. If you order 8 general purpose CPs, you have no control over which CPs are assigned to which book. >2. where can I find the actual process model ? I only found, > 2094-401 to 2094-408 (1 book) > 2094-501 to 2094-508 (2 oooks) > 2094-601 to 2094-608 (3 books) > 2094-701 to 2094-754 (4 books) > from www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zeries/lspr/zSerieszOS16MI.html When you order an S18 machine, you also specify a capacity indicator. If you order eight CPs, the machine can be specified as a model 408, 508, 608 or 708 depending on which capacity indicator you choose. The physical model will still be an S18. All CPs on the machine are the same speed. A 401 has 1 general purpose CP and capacity indicator CP4. If you order more than eight general purpose CPs, for example 9, then the capacity indicator must be a CP7, and the CPU will have a capacity setting of 709. You are able to order a 401 capacity setting on any of an S08 (one book), S18 (two books), S28 (three books), S38 (four books), or S54 (four books). If you did this these machines would all have one general purpose CP of about 200 MIPs and a different number of uncharacterized (spare) PUs. >3. Can I still use the sysplex timer 9037-002 without using the STP ? Yes. The 9037-002 is withdrawn from marketing in December, 2006, but is still supported. GA of STP is in January or February 2007. >4. Except the 8 CPs allocate half in each book....is there another good >choice? You have no choice over where the CPs go. >5. If I buy another new one S18 model...is it too complex to interconnect >with the 2 sets of 2064-2C5...as you know the HCD ..is quite different.. I don't understand your question. A single IOCDS can contain the definitions for all three machines if you wanted to connect the new machine into the existing configuration. With z/OS 1.7 there is a new format IOCDS and there are coexistence PTFs and MCL updates required on the old system to support the new format IOCDS if you are down level. >any comment will be appreciate ...
