Muggs- they should have used Amdahl kit, then they could have benefited from MDF .... :o) Anyway back to Antons questions. Presumably the Linux LPAR is running on the 2 IFLs. It is not a consideration in performance terms at 110%. To all intents and purposes it is running dedicated (unless there is a VM LPAR we don't know about lurking around), and below capacity. That leaves 2 engines for the other 5 LPARs - with at least one having two logical engines defined. Makes for a bad logical~physical ratio. So ... as the others have said, get the number of MVS LPARs down.
