The OP asked about "full theoretical MSU capacity". Capping, CPUs on or offline, other active LPARs, coprocessors, are all practical considerations as to how many MSU's a given LPAR can actually consume under a given scenario. For example, a second active LPAR can consume 1 or 2 MSU's just sitting there.
"Full theoretical MSU capacity" is also printed right on the SCRT report, and can be the basis for the billing of a product such as DB2. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scott Rowe Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 9:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Basic capacity question Only if the LPAR has all CPUs online, and is not capped. >>> Hal Merritt <[email protected]> 3/18/2009 10:39 AM >>> The full theoretical MSU capacity of an LPAR is the same as the machine. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of P S Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2009 6:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Basic capacity question I understand SCRT (at least, in theory). But how do I find out the full theoretical MSU capacity of an LPAR?
