CA7 instances

[daniel moreno]

HI, i have any questions..

How many CA 7 instances can be defined in a single LPAR?
How many CA Datacom/AD MUF can be defined in a single LPAR in order to manage these CA7 Instances?

Thanks for your support.
best regards

You can run up to 8 instances of CA 7 per LPAR. Each CA 7 instance can have its own CA Datacom/AD MUF. Instance number are CA71 - CA78. 
Now, this can be a bit tricky if you have a single instance of CA 7 running jobs across multiple LPARs. Let me give an example.
 
_____LPAR1_____     ____LPAR2____     ____LPAR3____

                     
CA71onl                          CA72onl                   CA73onl
CA71muf                         CA72muf                 CA73muf 
CA71icom                       CA72icom                CA73icom

                                       CA71icom                CA71icom
CA72icom                                                       CA72icom
CA73icom                      CA73icom

--------
In the above diagram you have a CA71 instance of CA 7 and ICOM running on LPAR1, along with a CA72 and CA73 ICOM. Therefore you can only run 5 more instance of CA 7 (CA74onl - CA78onl and their ICOM task). 
The same apply to LPAR2. You have a CA72 instance of CA7 and ICOM running, along with a CA71 and CA73 ICOM. Therefore you can run 5 more instance of CA 7 (CA74onl - CA78onl and their ICOM task). 

---
I hope I didn't confuse the matter. But the bottom line is you can run up to 8 instance of CA 7 per LPAR...
