IPL Boost – No Such Thing as a Free Lunch

(PO)

Stream: Woodcote
Time: 13:15 - 14:15


Presentation

IBM states; IPL Boost will not impact the software costs of the “IPL’d LPAR” but what about the other LPARs?  Where does the extra capacity to boost come from?  Will there be any impact in your environment due to speed or zIIP boost?  If you don’t have excess capacity the answer is from the other LPARs increasing their costs and potentially their SLAs.  If you only have 1 large LPAR on your CPC and only use it for that you don’t have concerns.  But there are considerations for more complex environments which will be discussed in this session.
