If you are using RMF PR/SM data, MXG TYPE70PR, and the IFLs are Dedicated, they are always reported as 100% busy in RMF 70 data, and z/VM MONWRITE data must be used to report true utilization of the IFS. SHARED IFL's utilization IS reported in TYPE70 data; you can see a comparison of RMF 70 IFL utilization with MONWRITE utilization for SHARED IFLs in MXG Technical Newsletter FIFTY-EIGHT at www.mxg.com/newsltrs.

I'll pass your comments along to my manager. Since the original post, I've found there is also a pricing consideration that will affect any decision. As to your question, ' High CPU usage in the IFL?'. I was only repeating what I was told. I have not seen where they are getting this info. I am neither the VM nor Linux person.

Yes, it can. Remember that IFL processors run at maximum speed, while general processors may have been set to run at a slower speed, depending on the model. >We seem to be experiencing high CPU usage and management seems to feel >switching the workload off of the IFL might be beneficial.
