This kind of also ties into the *gas gauge* available for z9 with driver 
upgrade. I thought this little pdf interesting.

  One of the more interesting attributes is that the machine will do
everything possible to keep your work moving as best it can even if there's
a double MRU failure. 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.
