Measure. Change. Measure. Compare. But I should mention that when running z/VM in a z/VM LPAR, the license fee is based on the total number of standard CPs and IFLs in the CEC. If you already had z/VM on the CP side and the IFL side, then there's no diff in price. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
