After reading most of this thread, two things hit this retired systems
programmer.  The first is that with all DASD shared, runaway bad SQL
may be doing a number on your disk performance due to contention and I
would look at I-O on both production and test.  DB2 and other experts
who are more familiar with current DASD technology and contention can
give more help.  The other is the role played on both LPARs by the use
of zAAP and zIIP processors which run at full speed and reduced cost
for selected work loads.  The bad SQL may be eligible to run on those
processors and taking away the availability from production.  This is
just a guess based on a dangerous (inadequate) amount of knowledge.
