Make sure you adjust your LPAR setup when you add capacity. Weights, Logicalis, etc. You can probably automate that. Cheers, Martin (bitten by a few experiences in this area) Sent from my iPad > On 27 Nov 2019, at 21:17, Laurence Chiu wrote: > > Just asking the list has anybody had experience

Be aware of using OOCoD that there is a difference in the billing records for Hardware and Software. We looked at this before I moved to IBM and had to rule it out as the Hardware side only bills you for the Capacity by the day activated (e.g. Use OOCoD for 7 days and get charged for the 7 days at

Just asking the list has anybody had experience using OOCod to double their MIPS on their mainframes? Looking at out of region (country) backup solution so cannot use CBU records. So the idea is to buy half of what the MIPS might need to be and then provision the other half capacity using capacity

Each LPAR is from the OS's point of view another box on the other side of the computer room. (Yes, you can quibble with that but it is a good way of thinking about it for most practical purposes.) z/OS on LPAR A has almost no knowledge of or visibility into LPAR B. LPAR B, after all, might not b

SP231 is a part of address space. It is virtual memory. LPAR is "hardware", so LPAR memory is real memory with no concepts like subpool, Common Area, PVT, etc. More: LPAR can host any operating system, including zLinux, which has no address spaces, SP231, LPA, etc. To repeat: NO z/OS MEMORY MAPP
