Absolute CP capping caps the LPAR at the specified number of CP's worth of capacity. It avoids the issues with initial capping (by weight) in which LPAR A's available capacity can change when LPAR B or C is activated or deactivated if LPAR A's weight isn't readjusted too.

I agree with Scott regarding assigning a resource group to the service class(es) that need to be capped. In reference to SU/s per second specified in MAX SUs in the resource group, the unweighted SUs/sec for IBM Z systems can be found here:

As was mentioned, ABSMSUCapping may be useful in that you can limit the entire group to a specific number of MSUs. I.E. if you defined the group of 4 LPARs in a capacity group at 24 MSUs (or whatever) and enabled ABSMSUCapping on all of them, all 4 LPARs would be capped (in total) at that 24

You might want to check out AbsMSUcapping=YES in the IEAOPT*xx* member of parmlib. Probably the closest you can get to what you want at the system level -- from your description it sounds like your problem is workload priority and definition not being correct, WLM has controls like velocity

I am running 4 lpars in a LPAR group with group capacity set to 12 MSU. This is on a 5-way, z14 with a total of 756 MSU. Which is, give or take, 151 MSU/CP. We are on path toward decommissioning after we finish archiving the historical data. All production applications have shifted to cloud
