Doug, that's an interesting idea to run a virtual 2-way on the single IFL. I never thought of that. It is, as you say, against conventional wisdom, but this job is full of exceptions. I could see some challenges in terms of lock contention, though this might be a case where Linux use of Diagnose x'44' actually is of benefit. I expect the trade off is slightly worse performance for all commands all the time, but a new safety net to avoid lock outs from long running tasks. I would be very interested in hearing what you see.
