Rubbish. Performance matters to everyone - GRS ring users included. If they already have a ring, they already have a handle on 2 system impacts when they bring up the sandpit. Seems likely they will run predominantly as 2 (active) system even with the new LPAR. Performance impacts can be mitigated. If they can be made acceptable, ring (or base sysplex) can be a good cheap answer. Maybe not the best, but possibly acceptable none-the-less.
