Greetings All, I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with the ZAAPZIIP feature of z/OS 1.11 yet.
We know not all zIIP-eligible work is dispatched to a zIIP engine (about 50% of DB2 9 DDF work if what I've read is correct). If one has only zIIP engines and uses the ZAAPZIIP option on z/OS 1.11 is the same "penalty" applied or will all zAAP-eligible work be dispatched to the zIIP engines. We have one zAAP engine now and are looking to upgrade our CPU to a z10 and add a zIIP. We're wondering if we'd be better off putting two zIIPs on (no zAAP) and using ZAAPZIIP=YES. We wouldn't want to do it this way if there is a "penalty". Current zAAP usage is 30-40% in peak hours on a z9. zIIP-eligible work looks like it will only save us 3-6% of our GP CPU but we're expecting growth in DDF processing.
