This kind of also ties into the *gas gauge* available for z9 with driver upgrade. I thought this little pdf interesting. ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/systems/z/pdf/z9_Gas_Gauge_Driver_manual.pdf under http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/advantages/energy/index.html

It can slow down the processors to reduce heat. WLM (assuming z/OS) is still in control, so heat-related forced slowdowns will tend to disfavor work in lower service classes, starting with purely discretionary workloads. You're probably already monitoring how well WLM is meeting its goals, so that's one (indirect) way to get a warning that something unusual is happening. I think an MRU failure is a Call Home event, by the way. A technician is going to initiate a telephone call to schedule installation of a replacement part, if necessary. If you're visiting IBM (in Poughkeepsie, for example), they may be able to simulate a double MRU failure for you so you can see what happens, at least if you request that demonstration ahead of time. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
