Planning
Overview
This
chapter
provides
a
planning
overview
for
defining
logical
partitions
(LPs).
Support
for
features,
functions,
and
panels
can
differ
depending
on
machine
type,
engineering
change
(EC)
level,
or
machine
change
level
(MCL).
During
IOCP
execution,
the
names
and
numbers
of
the
LPs
are
specified
and
channel
paths
are
assigned
to
the
LPs.
Sample
tasks
and
panels
are
explained
in
this
publication,
including
references
to
tasks
and
panels
available
from
the
support
element
console.
For
detailed
procedures
for
these
operator
tasks,
see
the
Hardware
Management
Console
Operations
Guide
and
the
Support
Element
Operations
Guide
.
Performance
Considerations
The
performance
of
an
LP
is
controlled
by:
v
The
number
of
logical
CPs
online
v
Whether
CPs
are
dedicated
to
or
are
shared
by
the
LP
v
The
processing
weight
assigned
to
each
LP
v
The
processor
running
time
interval
The
total
number
of
logical
CPs
across
all
active
LPs
is
one
of
the
factors
used
to
determine
the
dynamic
dispatch
interval.
See
Use
the
RMF
Partition
Data
Reports
to
determine
the
effective
dispatch
time
for
LPs.
For
more
information
about
this
RMF
reporting
enhancement
see
The
greater
the
number
of
active
logical
CPs
relative
to
the
number
of
physical
CPs
configured,
the
smaller
the
dispatch
interval.
Dedicated
and
Shared
Central
Processors
(CPs)
LPs
can
have
CPs
dedicated
to
them,
or
they
can
share
CPs
with
other
active
LPs.
Because
the
use
of
dedicated
or
shared
CPs
in
an
LP
affects
performance
in
several
ways,
the
characteristics,
limitations,
and
advantages
of
each
should
be
carefully
studied.
Coupling
facilities
using
dynamic
ICF
expansion
can
have
a
mix
of
dedicated
ICF
and
shared
general
purpose
CPs
or
a
mixture
of
dedicated
ICF
and
shared
ICF
CPs.
If
IFAs
or
zIIPs
are
defined
for
a
logical
partition,
they
are
defined
in
the
same
way
as
the
general
purpose
CPs
for
the
logical
partition.
If
the
general
purpose
CPs
for
a
logical
partition
are
shared,
the
IFAs/zIIPs
are
shared.
If
the
general
purpose
CPs
for
a
logical
partition
are
dedicated,
the
IFAs/zIIPs
are
dedicated.
Dedicated
and
Shared
Channel
Paths
A
configuration
defining
shared
channel
paths
offers
additional
capabilities
over
an
equivalent
configuration
containing
unshared
channel
paths,
while
maintaining
comparable
system
performance.
ITR
Performance
The
best
ITR
performance
is
achieved
with
dedicated
LPs.
To
achieve
optimal
ITR
performance
in
sharing
LPs,
keep
the
total
number
of
logical
CPs
online
to
a
minimum.
This
reduces
both
software
and
hardware
overhead.
