John, The first value is the traditional SRM busy calculation from CPU wait time. This is accurate for LPARs with dedicated processors, but with shared processors as an LPAR's LP approach their weights in a CEC that is 100% busy the LP often loses control of the CP before it goes into a wait. CPU

If you have done SMP/E apply against both target zones, then there is no guaranteed fix. For example, if there are members in MTS or STS that both target zones think they "own", ACCEPTing the maintenance in one zone will move those members into the appropriate DZONE DLIBs and remove them from MTS
