And therein is the problem: the D M=CPU display does show the "+I"
for processor 7, but yet their total chargeable time isn't any less.
Their total time is the same whether a zIIP is defined in Hercules or
not.

On a real machine they're different. On a real machine with a zIIP
the chargeable time ("SRB time" I think they called it?) is very
small, leading them to confidently conclude their program/workload is
indeed running on the zIIP, but on Hercules, whether a zIIP is define
or not makes no difference: the chargeable time is always the full
amount! (even though as I explained it appears as if the o/s does
know the zIIP exists since it's appearing properly in the D M=CPU
display).

The big question is WHY this behavior occurs? What is Hercules doing
wrong?

Or are they doing something wrong? Do they need to configure
something in the o/s that they possibly forgot to do?

Where should I start looking?

TIA
