You can always query the SESSIONTBL in DBC and count the users by logical host ID (or host no). You should have an entry for each LPAR connected.

You may consider the number of PE's assigned for MVS and possible need for additional virtual PE's.

You should also consider coding maximum and minimum sessions in your utility logon parameters. If the SESSIONS parameter is omitted, it can attempt to logon one session per AMP. This can be a session eater on midrange to larger systems. FASTLOAD, FASTEXPORT, MLOAD, and TPUMP all support this.

The syntax for requesting maximum and minimum session numbers is:

SESSIONS MAX MIN

For example MLOAD (requesting a maximum of 20 sessions and a minimum of 4):

.BEGIN IMPORT MLOAD
      TABLES  MYTABLE
    WORKTABLE PRODWRK.MYTABLE_WT
  ERRORTABLES PRODERR.MYTABLE_ET
              PRODERR.MYTABLE_UV
  SESSIONS 20 4
  CHECKPOINT 0
  TENACITY 5 SLEEP 10
  ERRLIMIT 50
  AMPCHECK ALL;
