We have 7 OS/390 processors. I was told it would cost about $10,000 to
convert one processor to an Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL). Anyone
know if this is close to being correct, or has anyone done this?
Thanks,
Craig

The cost is per engine, both purchase and maintenance. But I beleive most
people will save money with this arrangement in the long haul.

Please respond to
Linux on 390 Port
It says:
For customers who run a 10-way z900 system...they're going to
have to pay 20 times the cost of the VM license.
I thought that the license was per box, not per processor, so the above
wouldn't be right?
Feel free to enlighten me on this - I've been out of the VM game for a
couple of years (sigh).
