Hal, I think you are referring to the "reserved" lpar capability.
We just upgraded our processors and since we had to POR I defined a number of lpars as reserved, name(*). Now when we want a real lpar we will just unreserve one of them and o a dynamic activate. Haven't done that part yet to verify how it works.

We are converting everything to z/os.e but running in the roadblock of needing a POR to change the partition name. I am told that, under z/os 1.7, I can 'rename' a partition presumably via a dynamic change. Has anyone verified this? Has anyone actually tried it? I am running a mixture of 1.4 and 1.7. All IODF/IOCDS originate from an anchor LPAR which is 1.4 with the exploitation code. Anyone see any issues trying to run a mixture of 1.4 and 1.7 while renaming? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
