ASK THE EXPERTS: ROT advice when upgrading
A user asked our Mark Zeldon, our zOS system programming expert:
We are planning to consolidate workloads from two R85 to 1C3. Even if we are increasing the MIPS of R85, we are reducing the number of engines from 8 to 3. I understand even if we get more power, the reduction in the number of engines can affect the performance. I think the number of engines required for optimal performance depends on the number of online regions on the system. The question: Is there a ROT or guideline to decide the minimum required number of engines?
