I have a z/890 and a z/9. I'm on z/os 1.7 with 1.9 being rolled out. I'm confused.
Can I or can I not add an LPAR on the fly?

Max number of LPARs and channels and devices are defined there. So creating a new LPAR does not require POR. Of course you need free memory if you want to activate an LPAR.
