As I read his post - If you move some of your 2nd level VMs to LPARs you will
get some improvement in throughput. If you replace your Z800 with a Z9 you will
get improved throughput. If you do both you may get a lot of improvement.
How much improvement? You need some performance tools to even be able to guess.

Thanks for your input, but in re-reading my post, I phrased it
incorrectly; the question (which I think you really answered in the
affirmative) was: will placing the present 2nd-level VMs (and their
current 3rd-level guests) in a separate LPAR help my throughput? I
believe you answered "yes" - but should I push for a Z9 instead? I
assume the Z800 cannot be upgraded. I need to find a solution that will
be viable for future hardware/software combinations also, if possible.
If different hardware is the solution, then that is what I must suggest.
And if different hardware COUPLED with moving all present 2nd-level VMs
to their own LPAR, then I need to suggest that!
I am not relishing the administrative headaches, but right now,
we have a bigger problem with the clients' throughput!
