There's no particular reason for the soft cap in this scenario, right? In addition to the other suggestions mentioned, including the most elegant one (which I like), sometimes it's possible to throttle the demand side in certain ways. An asymmetrically configured load balancer would do that pretty well, as one example. (But that wouldn't really be for production/test splits.) I suppose, hypothetically, you could configure/run a lowest service class multi-threaded workload -- SETI@Home? Bitcoin mining? -- in the production LPAR, then configure the partitions as desired while that workload is running. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM Z & LinuxONE E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
