Re: Changing CPU mix was Re: Any Gotchas going from V1.13 to V2.2

A zIIP runs at full speed and is about 10% the cost of a CP. No software license costs based on zIIP capacity or usage. z/OS 1.6+ on z9+ run zIIPs and used by Java / DB2 V8+ / Linux runs on zIFLs. z13 consolidates zAAPs onto zIIPs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIIP

Re: DFSORT and zIIP

If you have a highly kneecapped CP, almost any workload on a zIIP would greatly help the CP. Unless the instruction sequences are very short. On Wed, Jul 20, 2016 at 10:14 AM, Paul Gilmartin <000433f07816-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> wrote: > On Wed, 20 Jul 2016 14:47:49 +0800, Timothy

Re: HMC automation

IBM capacity is defined as the maximum usage over a 4 hour rolling period. If you have a temporary high usage period exceeding your capacity that isn't too high and not too long, you aren't impacted. You go too long or too high and the processor starts to slow down so the total usage does not

Re: Minimum Volume Sizes in the Wild

Yep. 100 for JES2 checkpoints. 500+ for catalog volumes. Some mod 3s for ML1 and Mobius datasets due to large number of small datasets. Mod 9s for most volumes. Storage groups are 1TB+ so new space is Mod 27s (due to IPL volumes). z/OS 2.2 installer wants Mod 40s, don't have uncarved space.

I would suggest getting 6.1 then converting. IBM made some changes that eliminate some situations that need coding changes. Should be the same license cost, just cost you install time. Be sure to convert to Country Multiplex / MSU licensing so you don't have a limited time before having to pay
