Re: Dummy query on processor failover

If I have understood your Q correctly, depending on your Z system 'model', apart from a few older 'BC' systems, all Z Systems have dedicated 'spare' PU/PUs (processing units). If any CP, IFL, ICF, zIIP or SAP fails, 'sparing' action will take place transparently and in your example the 'SPARE' P
