No - they will be normalised for you. > Will TEST have enough cycles to respond to the PROD LPAR in a timely > manner at PEAK PROD TIME. Yes - in all normal scenarios. > or do all LPARS in the RING need to be a equal weight. No. This would imply (at full utilisation) that you need to upgrade each time you added a new LPAR. Don't go giving them ideas. Remember, those weights are merely targets. PR/SM will adjust as necessary given the demands from the LPARs. With those target weights, one assumes you don't expect Prod to be at/near 100% (of the complex) for extended periods. If that does occur (Test being idle), it can take a while for the idle LPAR to "ramp up", and respond. Can't see that being an issue (for GRS) in normal operation unless you restart DB2 regions on Prod during peak load. Not very likely.
