100% correct.  Not only must you not have any zAAPs you must not even
have any RESERVED zAAPS on the image profile in order for zAAP on zIIP
to work.    It was not obvious when we initially set ZZ=YES why it was
not working.   I would agree for many sites all zIIPs makes sense today
and use ZZ=YES.    You don't have to offload a lot of MSU's out of your
peak 4HRA if you are using sub-capacity pricing to justify a zIIP so if
you have not looked at one in a while you might want to look again.

I would buy zIIPs instead of zAAPs, however, AFAIK zAAP on zIIP doesn't
work if any zAAPs are available.

Subject: zIIPs and zAAPs

Is there any downside to running zAAP on zIIPs versus all zAAPs *if*
there is no current appreciable zIIP workload present?

Planning for a z196 and the thought is "why not get zIIPs now and if
zIIP activity starts to affect zAAP workloads, pay IBM and convert some
of the zIIPs to zAAPS.
