It's all about the cost. Especially right now, there is just no money to put into the box. If we knew for sure that the software CF would only take 1MSU or less, then we would do it in a heartbeat, but it's a base model z13s so there are only 13MSU's int he entire complex, taking even one away is a big deal, but IBM will only guarantee that it wouldn't take more than "a couple". We don't have a couple to give up. Even just 2 is more than 15%. The goal is to install GRS (free) so that we can drop MIM.
