Good recommendation. I stand corrected about OMEGAMON providing the feature of offloading CP cycles to zIIPs. As of last week, OMEGAMON offloads their DASD collection processes to zIIP. But as others have indicated that offloading small percentages may actually increase the overall CP usage. With limited details about the percentages that OMEGAMON is now offloading, who is to say if this benefits anyone, except IBM. So as I stated before, a benchmark will clear things up and show you who really is trying to save $$ and deter buying additional hardware. If your interested in comparing MAINVIEW against your monitoring products, my contact information is provided. Oh, one last thing. I like playing games when I already know the outcome.
