Not the same functionality as z/VM. There is PowerVM which is the Power7 version of the z LPAR code plus paging - PowerVM can page LPARs using a service LPAR to do the I/O. Also Active Memory Sharing that allows LPARs to donate memory they don't need to other LPARs. The LPAR architecture for Power is such that the guests have to be aware, and it often takes a little longer to get needed changes into the Linux distros > > > Shane ... > h ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
