Gadi, If you are looking for the $$$ savings that would be achieved by acquiring one or more zIIPs, then I strongly suggest you contact Al Sherkow ([email protected]) about LCS. I and others have cost-justified both the LCS and zIIP acquisition costs due to the savings achieved. As usual, YMMV.

Specifying the PROJECTCPU parameter allows you to project *zIIP* (and zAAP) consumptionwhen a *zIIP* (or zAAP) processor is not yet defined to the configuration. RMF and SMF will show the potential calculated *zIIP* time, so that an accurate * zIIP* projection can be made. The PROJECTCPU option can be used while running the target workload, once all software is installed that enables hardware sizing data to be produced. You can use the DISPLAY M=CPU command to show if a *zIIP* processor is defined in the configuration. (In the D M=CPU command output zIIPs are represented by the letter "I"). A *zIIP* processor is considered to be defined in the offline or reserved state, as well as in the online state. Refer to *MVS* *Initialization* *and* *Tuning* *Reference* for more information on the parmlib member IEAOPTxx. The SMF type 30 record (IFASMFR3) includes *zIIP* consumption fields. Refer to *z/OS* *MVS* *System* *Management* *Facilities* *(SMF)* for further information. The TIMEUSED macro allows *zIIP* execution time to be requested in addition to the standard CP consumption. </quote> 2013/10/29 גדי בן אבי <[email protected]> > Hi everyone, > Does anyone know of a tool that will help us decide if we benefit from > adding a zIIP engine to our system? > > Thanks > > Gadi > > ________________________________ > לשימת לבך, בהתאם לנהלי החברה וזכויות החתימה בה, כל הצעה, התחייבות או > מצג מטעם החברה, מחייבים מסמך נפרד וחתום על ידי מורשי החתימה של החברה, > הנושא את לוגו החברה או שמה המודפס ובצירוף חותמת החברה. בהעדר מסמך > כאמור (לרבות מסמך > סרוק) המצורף להודעת דואר אלקטרוני זאת, אין לראות באמור בהודעה אלא משום > טיוטה לדיון, ואין להסתמך עליה לביצוע פעולה עסקית או משפטית כלשהי. > > > Please note that in accordance with Malam's signatory rights, no > offer, agreement, concession or representation is binding on the > company, unless accompanied by a duly signed separate document (or a > scanned version thereof), affixed with the company's seal. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send > email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN > -- This is clearly another case of too many mad scientists, and not enough hunchbacks.
