I'm running the system in a PC with a Ryzen 5 5600x, so, seems I'm pretty limited in hardware capacity. Seems i will have to upgrade to a better CPU model. Regarding the license issue, I am running zOS as a hobby and without any commercial purposes whatsoever, so I hope there will be no problem. Thanks again and have a great day!

I was observing this as part of a z/OS v3.1 update, and a hour after the IPL, while everything else was checking out fine, I noticed z/OSMF was still hogging all the CPU it could get. My experienced peers said that was common, and this shop needed a bigger box and a zIIP.

SO it's not really the standard CPU that matters, it's the zIIP which, even though the main CPU is only 88MIP, is full speed, so I imagine that without a zIIP, you would have some issues getting it started. > > Have you maybe tried a faster CPU, maybe a I7 14700K or i9 14900K (or one of the newly announced CPUs would perform better for you. > > Brian > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send > email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
