Oh really? I'm not familiar with the 2086-450 minus 25% model. According to the aforementioned zSeries 890 and z/OS Reference Guide, you can put a Coupling Facility in a standard LPAR (i.e., using CPs instead of ICFs), but whether those CPs are dedicated or shared, IBM software charges apply.

Well, one reason why is that I only want to bring up my CF LPAR in case of an extended outage on my external CF. We investigated all kinds of combinations and permutations, one of them being to upgrade our 2086-450, having 4 engines and 650 mips, to 2 engines and 700 mips, and convert one of the

The down side of using CP's instead of IFL's is that the CPU capacity used by the Coupling Facility are counted in the total size of the machine for software licensing purposes. NOT true! If you have dedicated CP's to the CF, they don't count. - -teD I’m an enthusiastic proselytiser of the
