    If you had a product running in ALL LPARs, it would require 170 MSUs.

    If you had a product only running in LPAR2 & LPAR3, it would require 135 MSUs.

    If you had a product only running in LPAR1 & LPAR3, it would require 49 MSUs.

    If you had a product only running in LPAR1 & LPAR2, it would require 168 MSUs.

    If you had a product only running in LPAR3, it would require 3 MSUs.

    SCPT only uses SMF 70

    and does not know

    anything about used SW in

    the specific LPARs.

    If having many LPAR this

    list of combinations can

    become very long ->

    You can specify a

    Even without capping becoming activated, it can have a financial impact !

    Without CAPPING defined: reported R4HA: 157 MSU.

    With CAPPING defined at 150 MSU: reported R4HA: 150 MSU. (And only a few minutes real capping : around 14:30)

    Value Unit Pricing: Mechanics

    Value Unit Pricing Converts various measurements to Value Units For each Value Unit Priced program, there is a 'Value Unit Exhibit' (VUEXXX)

    The 'Value Unit Exhibit' establishes the appropriate Value Unit conversion

    Most common conversion is MSUs to Value Units

    It is also possible to convert engines, messages and other measurements to Value Units

    Value Unit Exhibit 007 (VUE007):

    MSUs 1 - 3, need 1 VU per MSU

    MSUs 4 - 45, need .45 VUs per MSU

    MSUs 46 - 175, need .36 VUs per MSU

    MSUs 176 - 315, need .27 VUs per MSU

    MSUs 316+, need .20 VUs per MSU

    **** cumulative ****

    Value Unit Exhibit 001 (VUE001):

    MSUs 1 - 3, need 5.25 VUs per MSU

    MSUs 4 - 45, need .83 VUs per MSU

    MSUs 46 - 175, need .35 VUs per MSU

    MSUs 176 - 315, need .26 VUs per MSU

    MSUs 316+, need .20 VUs per MSU

    IPLA Aggregation Applies to all IPLA Value Unit Bases (e.g., MSUs, Engines, Users)

    Combines Value Unit Basis (e.g., MSUs) for all machines in customer enterprise before calculating # of VUs needed

    (Aggregation does not require parallel sysplex)

    Calculation of additional capacity uses Current Entitlement as starting point

    System z IPLA Categories (August 2004)

    Most System z IPLA Programs with MSU-Oriented Value Unit Pricing

    will fall into one of the following three categories

    Execution-based

    Where the

    Product

    executes

    For example:

    Fault Analyzer

    Reference-based

    Where the

    Parent Product

    executes

    For example:

    DB2 Utilities Suite

    (parent is DB2)

    z/OS-based

    Where the

    Product

    executes

    For example:

    z/OS Session Manager

    Note: uncategorized programs are usually licensed on the machine where the program executes

    zNALC New Pricing for New Workloads!

    System z New Application License Charges (zNALC)

    Attractive pricing for z/OS operating system to drive qualified new workloads to the System z platform

    Significantly reduced compared to standard price

    Announce: 9 January 2007

    Available: 16 March 2007

    Satisfies the SoD Announced with z/OS 1.7 (July 2005) IBM plans to announce a version of New Application License Charges (NALC) intended to help improve the price performance of z/OS incertain new workload environments by delivering subcapacity pricing. .

    Some examples of approved Qualified Applications: DB2 for z/OS in support of SAP from SAP AG

    DB2 for z/OS in support of PeopleSoft from Oracle

    DB2 for z/OS in support of Siebel from Oracle

    Lotus Domino for z/OS

    Linux for System z General Concepts

    Linux for System z Middleware is considered distributed software, engine-based pricing under Passport Advantage

    Sub-Capacity Licensing for distributed SW Linux for System z Middleware can run on

    General purpose System z engines

    Specialized Linux System z engines, called Integrated Facility for

    Linux (IFL) engines

    To achieve maximum value from Linux on System z, leverage z/VM for virtualization and run hundreds or possibly even thousands of Linux instances on a single System z server

    Linux on System z is great for:

    server consolidation

    web-enabling legacy data (the data is on DB2 on the host, right?)

    Specialty Engine Special Advantages

    Customers do not need to re-purchase their specialty engines as they upgrade hardware from one generation to the nextA generational upgrade gives them free capacity growth e.g.

    a zAAP on a z10 EC is faster than a zAAP on a z9 or z990

    Specialty engines always run at full speedOn servers such as the z10 EC/BC, z9 EC/BC and z890

    customers can choose to have their standard engines run at less

    than the maximum speed e.g. a 2097-401 versus 2097-701

    IFLs, zAAPs and zIIPs all run at the maximum engine speed

    Hipersocket connections between z/OS and IFL LPARs MUCH less effort is spent moving data between z/OS and Linux

    LPARs compared to having external servers communicate with

    DB2 running on z/OS
