I'm curious. Does anyone know if say a 6 CP model with one book costs
the
same as a 6 CP model with 2 books in the z processors? I know that if
you
really plan to expand, that it is probably cheaper to start with 2 books
than one if you are going to have more than 8 CPs eventually - at least
the
expansion of your processor would be less disruptive. Personally, I
would
think that the 2 book model would cost more, but if you are planning to
expand, maybe IBM wouldn't charge you more.
It *is* more expensive. You pay for redundancy and scalability
(on-line). IBM charges more for more books. Been there.
YMMV.
