I didn't miss the posts, but I'm not sure what to do with that information to "prove" that we can run at the same performance level.
It is very hard to demonstrate the suitability of the platform with a few synthetic test cases. The measured performance level may not be essential for the application.
So essentially, are you saying that we can't get the same performance on a directory to directory copy without investing in 2 IFL engines?
If your business application were to copy a file from one virtual machine to the other using FTP, then an extra IFL would help you do that quicker. Question is whether you need it quicker, whether you could maybe share the file via NFS rather than copy it, etc. If you have a serious case, sometimes your IBM representative can help you try it. If you have a good performance monitor you can even understand what the problems are rather than just reject the platform as is.
