I'm checking to see if there is any chance we are entitled and just
don't know it. I'm hoping so, but I'm doubting it and will probably
have to get pricing. Might see if I can get it installed and test
under the 70 day grace period and see if it may be worth the asking
price.

As I had noted, and the doc links should confirm [if not explicitly, then by allusion], that the IO parallelism is supported without SMP being installed. For example, note the only mention of SMP in the following text documenting the special-value option *OPTIMIZE specified for the Query Degree:

"The query optimizer can choose to use any number of tasks for either I/O or SMP parallel processing to process the query. SMP parallel processing can be used only if the DB2® Symmetric Multiprocessing feature is installed. ..."
