FWIW, my associate who asked the question is a security expert with a vendor of security management products for virtualized environments. Thanks all.

Could "see" and potentially make configuration changes to "the whole box" as opposed to a single LPAR? Can one write code that runs at the "box" level, below the LPARs? -------------------------------<unsnip>--------------------------------- I'm sure that it's possible, but the interfaces are quite likely to be proprietary and non-published. Certainly not a good idea, since the whole shop could be very adversely affected in the event of a user specification or programming error. That's one of those areas where you should "Look but never touch." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
