Steve,

Can you tell us more about the LPAR.  Which model is LPR running on.  CPW of 
the Model?  How much CPU do you have allocated to this LPAR? Is it one entire 
CPU or a portion of a CPU?

As others have said adding another CPU might not fix the issues.  But if you 
have a fraction of a CPU allocated to this LPAR then moving more of to this one 
LPARed CPU might be all you need to do.

Otherwise more Main Storgae and more disks with larger Cache cards might be a 
better choice to upgrade first.

Good luck

Ken H.

Subject: Multiple processors


We have a partition which runs *one* batch job and one interactive session 
for the operator that checks on the batch job occasionally.  This batch job 
runs for days at a time and when it finishes, another similar job is kicked 
off by the operator.  We want to reduce the run time of the batch job.  One 
suggestion is to add another processor to the partition.  I'm not convinced 
that adding another processor will improve the run time.  So my dumb 
question for today is:

Will adding another processor to a partition running a single batch job 
decrease the run time of the batch job?

Thanks,

Steve
