I have two LPARs. The production LPAR has a weight of 244. The sysprog LPAR has a weight of 10. I've never had any problem, other than lack of CPU at times in the sysprog LPAR. In the past, we had three LPARs. The third LPAR did some DASD backups and had a small weight. This did cause problems due to enqueue (DASD reserve) contention. This was not due to a small weight, per se. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
