Resolution

Vantage SRM is designed to exploit IBM zIIP specialty processors when they are installed and enabled on the system where Vantage is running. 

This is documented in the Vantage Configuration manual.  See the below doc for more details: 

Activate zIIP Processing 

By default, Vantage does not attempt to make work eligible to run on the zIIP processor. 

To activate zIIP processing in Vantage you need to set the Vantage parameter ZIIPIT to Y and restart the Vantage task.
