Note that although this works from a technical point of view, from a product licensing point of view, it likely would not. Vendors tend to be very picky when it comes to money, and would likely only be happy if the product was running in an LPAR with one IFL assigned to it. If the vendor is not too familiar with mainframes, I wouldn't be surprised to have them insist it be installed on a z9 equipped with only 1 IFL.

John, Yes, HATS run on MainFrameLinux using WAS. So, do I understand you in that I can assign two IFL's to my VM, and most of my MFL's could have access to both IFL's except for the MFL that runs HATS? I somehow assign a cpu to it in my USER DIRECT statements? At 11:03 AM 11/21/2007, McKown, John wrote: If HATS runs on Linux, then you could have a dedicated Linux guest for HATS. And in z/VM, you could assign a single virtual CPU to that Linux instance. That would restrict the HATS Linux system to run on a single CPU at a time (might switch from CPU to CPU, but only use one). -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.

Folks, I've done about a 45 minute search and I think my answer is that I'd have to run multiple VM's per frame but wanted to ensure I was right. My management wants to run some product called HATS on our VM/MFL world. We recently upgraded from our z/890's with 1 IFL each to z9BC's with 2 IFL's each. I guess to keep costs down they want to run on one IFL this HATS worlds so the question to me was can I run a single VM with BOTH IFL's allocated but alot the HATS world only 1 IFL. Is this possible with VM config parms or some other way like maybe my HMC which I just thought of but haven't looked at yet. I know we have to lic Suse for more engines. Just more interested in is it even doable. THANX!!!! Brian W.
