They won't do the trick. Only with GCL can the Prod LPAR use Test resources (when the Test LPAR is idle) and have both LPARs be charged at the combined group rate only. Remember that both LPARs could have a maximum 4 hour/rolling avg equal to its total MSUs. P = 100 MSUs T = 50 MSUs Total = 150 MSUs In the course of a month, T could reach its maximum rolling avg of 50 MSUs on a different day to P. On a different day P could use 30 additional spare MSUs from T thus totalling 130 MSUs plus the 50 from T. Without GCL, the total bill would be 130 + 50 MSUs = 180 MSUs With GCL the total bill is fixed to the group maximum of 150 MSUs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
