Step 1: Work with IBM Sales to define a solution and get a solution ID
Work with an IBM Sales representative to define a New Application Solution with an estimated size of 100 MSUs. This agreement generates a solution ID that correlates the IBM sales contract with the actual solution, and purchased capacity is used for billing purposes. You can obtain the solution ID from the LMS portal.
Where do you go from here? Once you have worked with IBM Sales to design a solution,
you'll know whether you are going to create a colocated solution, a dedicated solution, or a
solution spanning multiple dedicated LPARs. Proceed as follows based on that decision:
- For a colocated solution, go to Step 2: For a colocated solution, create Tailored Fit Pricing definitions in WLM and Step 3: For a colocated solution, WLM, RMF and SMF track and record solution usage data.
- For a solution on a dedicated LPAR or multiple dedicated LPARs, go directly to Step 4: For either a colocated or dedicated solution, use SCRT to collect billing data and report to IBM.
