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.
Why ?
IMHO it *depends*. Is it so common to run few z/OS LPARs and hundreds
Linux images ? I know datacenters running several LPARs (monoplexes,
completely separated systems), *few* Linux images ...and bunch of
Windows servers<g>
One of the datacenters is using Linux under IFL. 2-4 images. Is it
really cost effective to buy z/VM for this poor z/800 machine ?
Is it really needed at all ?
Just my $0.02
