What are the considerations, if any, that the customer has to include into their plans for upgrading?

A z14 ZR1 is configured for Capacity Marker W06 and 6 IFLs. At the time of purchase, the customer had not expected growth. Therefore, the CPC was configured as a Max12 (FC#0637).

However, additional Java workload makes the deployment of a zIIP engine feasible.

What are the considerations, if any, that the customer has to include into their plans for upgrading?
A . Depending on the type of specially engine (IFL, ICF, zIIP, or SAP) the additional resource can be added concurrently to the existing CPC model.
B . None. The upgrade is done by changing the microcode and can be activated concurrently.
C . A change in the z14 ZR1 CPC drawer feature upgrade is disruptive. The additional engine will have an impact on the maintenance cost.
D . All IBM software contracts have to be checked and amended to include the new zIIP engine.
