>So why put VM in microcode in the first place and limit us to only 60 LPARs.
Less overhead. I've not seen a need for 'only 60 LPARs', yet. But, I'm sure somebody out there has/will have it. >Why not just give us VM "as is" and let us decide how many instances of z/OS >under z/VM we would like to run as well as the mix with z/LINUX, AIX, etc? Two reasons: 1. Complexity -- you need z/VM skills and z/OS skills. I've only known one sysprog with both at sufficient skill levels to be able to manage both effectively. 2. Why should IBM 'give' us anything? Last I heard they're still responsible/accountable to their shareholders. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
