zIIP utilization hardware requirements
One or more IBM® System z® Integrated Information Processors (zIIPs) must be online on the machine at the time an IMS Connect, IMS ODBM, or IMS CQS address space is started in order to have any threads zIIP eligible and executed on a zIIP for that execution instance.
If no zIIPs are online when the address space is started, no work will be moved to a zIIP.
