I would add: and test work suffered because your goals were set so. z/OS will always do what you tell it to do b.m.o. your goal definitions. This is quite different from other platforms, that already start doing problematic above 30%. I have seen Linux machines being reboot, because even the Sysop was not able to log in in order to check and adjust what the machine was doing. This is like being chased out of your house by your own dog, the world up side down.

When we ran quarterly processing, later changed to monthly processing, the machine was pegged for a day or two. We couldn't do any testing because production sucked up all of the resources. The processor and software continued to work fine during that period, it was only test work that suffered.
