The relation between IRD and Hiperdispatch is mentioned in Hiperdispatch docs 
and in Katy's presentation: Hiperdispatch takes over (disables) IRD's Vary CPU 
management.

Subject: WLM Intelligent Resource Director (was Defined capacity)

Very interesting thread... casually I was reading about IRD when I saw this 
mail in my inbox :-)))

For those who don't have the expert knowledge of Kees or Al.

IRD uses facilities in WLM, Parallel Sysplex and PR/SM. Change the amount of 
system resources (central processors and channel paths) allocated to an 
individual LPARs, in order to better achieve overall goals for sysplex 
workloads.

Basically provide an automated capability to dynamically move CPC hardware 
resource to where the current sysplex workload can best use it.


More info:


*"z/OS Intelligent Resource Director"*
*"z/OS MVS Planning: Workload Management" - Chapter: "Defining the 
SYSZWLM_xxxxyyyy Coupling Facility Structure"**

I didn't see any shop with IRD, but seems that it's useful for large shops, 
with multiple LPARs in several Sysplex.

How the results impact in LPAR performance doing this configuration? Any 
experiences?

I didn't see any chapter about the relation between IRD and Hiperdispatch, 
meanwhile Hiperdispatch tries to assign 100% share LCP of a PCP to one LP, IRD 
is controling also the dispatching of LCP.

Any comments?
