I agree with your performance guy. I believe that it is in the
microcode, some assists, and the way I/O is being handled. The z9 is an
over achiever.

guys here say something's up with that z9 and it's more than just the
MIPS. things perform much better (our java WAS stuff that is).

Subject: Re: z9 and zVM 5.2
The z9 has no basic mode, so you can't run the thing totally native
(you have to define at least one LPAR), but if you're asking if you
can run one big LPAR, put VM in it, and parcel it out via CP, then
sure, works great. Regular admonitions apply (get current RSU and
buckets, refit mods if you have any, etc, etc), but no problems so far
(other than people not believing how much faster the z9 is…).
Hello. Is anyone here running zVM 5.2 on a z9, first level/native?
Any issues pro or con?
Thanks
Steve G.
