Answer cross-posted to LPAR-PRICING-L and IBM-MAIN As I understand your question you want LPAR P to use the excess capacity of LPAR T but not vice versa.
Does this have anything to do with Software Pricing?? LPAR T can be limited to not using P's excess with traditional LPAR hardcapping. If you want to limit the MSUs that LPAR T can contribute to the simultaneous 4HRA of that machine then LPAR T can be controlled with Defined Capacity. LPAR T can access the excess from LPAR P, but will not be 'charged' for that access. The only reason to use a group is if you want to limit what the LPARs of the group can contribute to the simultaneous 4HRA of that machine. IRD is not involved or required.
