Jerry, this is described in the CBU User's Guide (on http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/bkserv/hwpdf/z900.html): <quote> "The LIC will automatically and concurrently degrade the performance of the system approximately 85% ±5% so the customer is left with 10-20% performance. The system will still function as the CBU model with the same number of engines but at a much lower performance level. Example: Base Model = Performance B CBU Model = Performance B + C CBU expired active kneecap performance = (B + C) × 15% (±5%) </quote> On a 2064 the ICF's won't be affected, I think. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards, Horst Sinram IBM zSeries Systems Management, z/OS Workload Manager ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
