IMO, using LPARs for Linux is not a wise decision. z/VM is the only real way to manage a boat load of images. z/VM manages "better" than PR/SM, again IMO. However, to answer your question, I vaguely remember that you can add an LPAR "on the fly" with the newest z9 systems. But I cannot find anything to back up the memory. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
