Correct. USER HATS MACHINE ESA 1 ... other stuff will define a z/VM guest called HATS which only has a single CPU assigned to it. ref: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/hcsg0b20/3.2. 35

John, Yes, HATS run on MainFrameLinux using WAS. So, do I understand you in that I can assign two IFL's to my VM, and most of my MFL's could have access to both IFL's except for the MFL that runs HATS? I somehow assign a cpu to it in my USER DIRECT statements? At 11:03 AM 11/21/2007, McKown, John wrote: If HATS runs on Linux, then you could have a dedicated Linux guest for HATS. And in z/VM, you could assign a single virtual CPU to that Linux instance. That would restrict the HATS Linux system to run on a single CPU at a time (might switch from CPU to CPU, but only use one). -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.

Folks, I've done about a 45 minute search and I think my answer is that I'd have to run multiple VM's per frame but wanted to ensure I was right. My management wants to run some product called HATS on our VM/MFL world. We recently upgraded from our z/890's with 1 IFL each to z9BC's with 2 IFL's each. I guess to keep costs down they want to run on one IFL this HATS worlds so the question to me was can I run a single VM with BOTH IFL's allocated but alot the HATS world only 1 IFL. Is this possible with VM config parms or some other way like maybe my HMC which I just thought of but haven't looked at yet. I know we have to lic Suse for more engines. Just more interested in is it even doable. THANX!!!! Brian W.
