Barbara,

Are you sure you *have* to pay more if you don't merge Test and Prod? I
ask this for more than one reason: 
First: each year IBM makes beautiful calculations for us how we could
and might pay less if we change our license structure. Luckily I have a
colleague that has studied the IBM pricing structure well and is able to
calculate that our current pricing structure is yet cheaper than the
proposed one.
Second: because of the above, we can keep our Test and Prod sysplexes
separated (allbeit on the same boxes) and it will cost no more than
having those sysplexes merged.

Does your company have somebody to validate the IBM proposed 'savings'?

Kees.
