4.8 zIIPs and zAAPs
A zPDT system can provide a zIIP or zAAP in place of a CP, but this reduces the number of
CPs available. z/VM can provide simulated zIIPs or zAAPs, working only with CPs in the base
zPDT system. Furthermore, z/VM can provide more logical CPs, zIIPs, and zAAPs than there
are CPs present in the base 1090 system.
The definition of a z/VM guest, in the z/VM directory, can contain statements such as the
following:
MACH ESA 5 (allow up to 5 logical processors)
CPU 0 BASE
CPU 1 TYPE zIIP
CPU 2 TYPE zAAP
The three logical processors (one CP, one zIIP, one zAAP) can be used even if the base zPDT
definition has only a single CP (a 1090-L01, for example). Of course, there are performance
implications if the number of logical processors greatly exceeds the number of “real” System z
processors, but this may be acceptable for development and testing situations.
