Abstract: This is the Getting Started page for those interested in using IBM's Processor Capacity Reference (zPCR) to capacity plan for IBM Z and LinuxONE processors. It includes links for accessing related educational materials and downloading the tool itself. |
If the tabs of this notebook don't work for you, try this version of the document.
Note: If your currently installed zPCR version is older than C9.0, it MUST be uninstalled prior to installing zPCR C9.3 (package includes Java). This is necessary to facilitate conversion to the new IBM Java v8 64-bit runtime environment that is required for zPCR.
To review the zPCR C9.3 NEWS file, click on What's New below.
This section is used to document Special Notices and FAQs regarding the operation of zPCR.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are the IBM z15 models identified?
How are the IBM z14 models identified?
How are the IBM z13 models identified?
How are the IBM zEnterprise EC12 models identified?
How are the IBM zEnterprise 196 models identified?
The IBM zEnterprise 196 (z196) has 5 models. The models support different numbers of processor units (PU) which are configurable as General Purpose CPs, zAAPs, zIIPs, IFLs, ICF's, or optional SAPs.
z196 Models M15 - Supports 1 to 15 Configurable PUs
M32 - Supports 1 to 32 Configurable PUs
M49 - Supports 1 to 49 Configurable PUs
M66 - Supports 1 to 66 Configurable PUs
M80 - Supports 1 to 80 Configurable PUs
In addition, for General Purpose CPs, there are 4 engine speeds, listed below in increasing speed sequence. All zAAPs, zIIPs, IFLs, and ICFs are full speed CPs.
400 Limit of 15 General Purpose CPs
500 Limit of 15 General Purpose CPs
600 Limit of 15 General Purpose CPs
700 No limit for General Purpose CPs
How are the IBM System z10 EC models identified?
The IBM System z10 EC has 5 models. The models support different number of processor units (PU) which are configurable as General Purpose CPs, zAAPs, zIIPs, IFLs, ICF's, or optional SAPs.
System z10 EC Models E12 - Supports 1 to 12 Configurable PUs
E26 - Supports 1 to 26 Configurable PUs
E40 - Supports 1 to 40 Configurable PUs
E56 - Supports 1 to 56 Configurable PUs
E64 - Supports 1 to 64 Configurable PUs
In addition, for General Purpose CPs, there are 4 engine speeds, listed below in increasing speed sequence. All zAAPs, zIIPs, IFLs, and ICFs are full speed CPs.
400 Limit of 12 General Purpose CPs
500 Limit of 12 General Purpose CPs
600 Limit of 12 General Purpose CPs
700 No limit for General Purpose CPs
How are the IBM System z9 EC models identified?
How are the IBM zSeries 990 models identified?
How often will I need to register my use of zPCR?
What versions of Windows will support zPCR?
When must I reinstall the IBM Java runtime environment?
Periodically, the IBM Java runtime environment supporting zPCR will be updated to newer releases. When a new release is required, you must download and install the zPCR including IBM Java Runtime package, which will replace the older Java.
