Could you change the name of the LPAR to an asterisk "*" ? This would allow you to mark it as a dynamic LPAR and gives the ability to re-use the LPAR in the future.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IBM whines at my manager about it every month. And wants to increase our software bill for it because we have no SMF from it showing its usage. That's because it is __idle__. I just DEACTIVATED the LPAR. Maybe that will shut the money grubbers at IBM up. Yes, I'm upset. It's hard enough to keep the z here. Management wants a Windows monoculture. I would say more, but I'd get in trouble. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets® ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
