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'?
