>How do you work that out? $125K is what an IFL costs.
>Surely the number of Linux images is irrelevant, the only real purpose of an IFL is to reduce SW costs when you have other LPARS with z/OS etc... No. There is more than that. LINUX on any z-box still is 'free'. The IFL just gives a better choice. > I don't think you can drive the IFL very high with just that few. Are you sure? That implies that a singe Linux LPAR cannot max out an IFL. It doesn't max out an RS6000, so why would it max out an IFL. In the *NIX world a machine running at 20% is running hot. The whole purpose of the zVM/IFL/LINUX configuration is to add these up in one/two CP configs so they MAX them out. Windows/*NIX do not run well at high (>15%) usage. z/VM and z/OS do! - -teD O-KAY!
