In our case, sometimes it's our SE that gets notification (can't tell you how that process works) and lets us know about things like this prior to us finding out from current HOLDDATA SMP/E Reports, Red Alerts, or the grape vine AKA IBM-MAIN. :-) One might install zIIP support even if they don't have a zIIP processor if they were planning on getting one. Also, the zIIP might only be on a couple of LPARs but by virtue of sharing the sysres, the code would be on all the LPARs. In our case, we have the code and have LPARs running CSF that don't or won't have zIIPs.

For PROJECTCPU - to see how much you can actually save if you had a zIIP lying around... (Although we just got a zIIP and a zAAP to see how our products fare on it.

Re: Heads Up: OA17104 if you have zIIP support installed
JBB772S is GA and the APARs are all available for viewing in IBMLink. I think that there are IBMers circling the globe suggesting that customers install the zIIP Web Deliverable, because the Web Deliverable - even on a non-zIIP machine - delivers the *instrumentation* necessary to determine the potential value of a zIIP in a given customer environment. That's not to say I don't have any friendsI'd like to think I do!
