I would recommend removing 2 LPARs and consolidating workloads. But I'm thinking from a technical standpoint; you may have other considerations, as in point 2. YMMV. Beware of possible "turf wars" within your shop. You may also have to rethink LPAR weighting factors. >> I agree and would CAP the Test and Development LPARs significantly. Again assumptions are made as to business model. I've seen financial institutions where Production and Test were mandated "electronically separate" and developmental environments where 'testing is our priority'. Further at 150% utilization WLM doesn't function well. I'll plug Cheryl's Goal Tender software(_www.watsonwalker.com_ (http://www.watsonwalker.com) ) to see how your goals are fairing against reality. It may be that you're only buying time for the next upgrade, but at least you'll have corroboration/justification. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
