Central Processor (CP)-Provides processing capacity for z/Architecture instruction set–Runs z/OS, z/VM, VSE/ESA, TPF
Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL) - Feature-Provides additional processing capacity exclusively for Linux workloads-Runs Linux or Linux under z/VM Version 4 or Version 5
Internal Coupling Facility (ICF) - Feature-Provides additional processing capacity exclusively for the execution of the Coupling Facility Control Code (CFCC) in a CF LPAR
IBM System z Application Assist Processor (zAAP) - Feature on z10/z9/z990/z890-Java Virtual Machine (JVM) under z/OS - first exploiter-Requires z/OS 1.6
System Assist Processors (SAPs) -Standard and Opt SAPs do I/O processing in the channel subsystem
System z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP)-Requires z10, or z9 BC and EC and z/OS V6 -DB2 V8 first exploiter -Serving XML Data, Remote Mirroring, ISV support, etc
Spare PUs – Not orderable-Available (unassigned) PUs on all System z Servers-Support “Transparent Sparing” for other PU types

System z Configuration Process
eConfig is a PC based tool for System z order generation (Techline)
Systems Assurance (SA) is required for all System z orders
PUs are not orderable – only CPs, SAPs, ICFs, IFLs, zIIPs, zAAPs
All z10 EC Serves will have 2 Spare PUs
z10 BC can have from 0 to 7 Spare PUs
Techline should be used for Server Capacity Analysis

Learning Points – System z Class Overview
1. Specialty Engines reduce the Total Cost of Ownership for System z..
2. All Specialty Engines run at full speed on sub-capacity Servers!
3. All ICFs, IFLs, zAAPs, and zIIPs are carried over to all System z Upgrades without cost!
4. Specialty Engines play a key role in IBM’s System z Cost & Value strategy.
5. IFLs support Linux or Linux under z/VM exclusively.
6. ICF’s Support Coupling Facilty Control Code (CFCC – for Parallel Sysplex) exclusively.
7. zAAPs supprort Java processing under z/OS.
8. zIIPs were first supported by DB2.
9. All PU chips for System z10 Servers contain 4 PUs (Cores).
10.Techline should be used for System z10 Capacity Analysis and for Order Configurations.
