The OP specifically mentioned a "CA product" and software charges. If this indicates he is being sub-capacity billed by CA, it doesn't really matter if he runs his CA product at all or caps the CA workload. CA receives the SCRT output and charges based on the MSU reported for z/OS.
So, if I understand the OP's question, capping the LPAR usage is his only means of capping CA usage/software charge. Greg Shirey Ben E.
