How about an LPAR with all 4 CPs, 2 zIIPS, and 2 zAAPS, but then config off all but one of the CPs, in order to reduce my MSUs. Of course "Group Capacity" has done a good job of reducing my MSUs for SCRT. Management is very happily "dialing down" the capacity in small steps, waiting for the screams. >
I do not know But what is also interesting is that a zIIP or a zAAp is ( IIRC) always a full capacity engine while the standard CP is according to the z10 model . If all this was becoming true, it would open a lot of opportunities for reducing the customer bill .
