z/OS R4 going to z/OS R6 and currently we run with 16 CP's on-line INITIAL at IPL on our largest CEC and normally run with the max on our other machine except for systems programming test partitions. This is of course at IPL what happens next varies widely and often. We use IRD CPU and weight man

I am sure that I assumed that IBM would get around to this... but it doesn't seem to be happening. Ok.. so the z990 had multiple processor books and a multiple I/O "cages"... And while I can run one set of "shared" processors and I can dedicate processors to a lpar... Why isn't there an opti
