That hasn't been true for years, unless you're talking about "traditional CMS-based" workloads. In which case you may not be able to license all the IBM software you want on the IFL without going through the special bid process. > The Linux > workload is IFL only (or should be). That has never been true, except for the "should be" part. Linux doesn't care, just your CFO. > No charge for IFL workload but there > would be a minimal charge for the underlying z/VM processing (storage, > memory, shared resources...)? Not sure what you're saying here. IFLs don't add to the z/OS MSU-based software charges. You still have to pay for any z/VM licenses and/or Linux subscriptions that you will be running on those IFLs.
