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? Is this 'placeholder' LPAR a step in the process? -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marian Gasparovic Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2008 7:49 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: good practise to run linux on mainframe Hal Merritt wrote: > The last time I checked, adding an LPAR still requires a full power on > reset.

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.
