Hypothetically speaking, if one acquired a processor with x number of active IFL features but did not have workload for all x IFLs from the outset, is it possible to license zVM and associated products for a subset of the IFLs and when the workload grows license the rest of the IFLs later on? I see the 'unassigned IFL' feature on the older machines but if I understand that correctly it would mean a change to the installed features later on which I do not believe will be possible with the approach we're looking at.
Forgive me, also, for this is a parallel query to one with my branch. We're sort of in a time constraint so I'm chasing all avenues. Thanks...
