Products and services that exploit zIIP include:
Technical details
Software requirements
zIIP for z/OS requires z/OS 1.8 or newer. Certain functions such as z/OS Container Extensions, System Recovery Boost and Support for other software may have additional z/OS, middleware or hardware requirements.
Hardware requirements
zIIP processors are available on the following IBM Z systems:
- IBM z15
- IBM z14
- IBM z13
Technical specifications
Sizing and planning: To assist in planning for zIIPs, components of z/OS have been enhanced to report both projected zIIP usage and actual zIIP usage. The projected usage function (PROJECTCPU) is intended to gather information about CPU time spent executing code that could potentially execute on zIIPs.
