Statement
MCL FAQ v3.0: consumption "is measured by the total hourly MSU utilization for all the production LPARs running the Z/OS operating system at the Customer Site, as are any overage fees"; there is no product-level baseline, and the model is based on hourly total z/OS MSUs consumed, not the Rolling 4 Hour Average.
