Thanks to all for their comments and suggestions. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that we'll get the boxes, but if it happens I will definitely look into the IFL conversion for the zAAPs and the CP's (especially if the throttling back is going on)
-----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Duerbusch Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2007 1:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: CP's and specialty engines The reason you may want to have the CP engines converted to IFL engines, is that CP engines may be throttled to a certain capacity. The IFL engines always run at full speed. It is just a microcode change along with the license agreement. However, there were some boxes that required you to have at least a single CP engine, no IFL only boxes. In that case, it all depends on what your needs are. If you can live with 2 LPARs, give one LPAR the CP engine and the other LPAR all the IFL engines. VM licensing is the same, no matter what.

Just wanted to make sure that we can use those CP's, if we dedicate these machines to z/VM and Linux. I understand the point of using IFL's to not increase MSU ratings if you're going to use a box that has z/OS software on it. In this case we would keep the boxes as z/VM and Linux only boxes. (1) Is it possible to run z/VM and Linux on the regular CP's. (2) If these boxes also have zAAP engines, can I use them for java on Linux under z/VM, or are the zAAP engines only for z/OS. Happy Holidays to all.
