>From the announcement: "Prior to this announcement, z/VM was authorized to run on IFL processors only if, on the IFL processors, z/VM was being used exclusively to run Linux workloads and, if required, z/VM applications in support of those Linux workloads. As of November 18, 2008, end users are now also authorized to run z/VM on IFL processors if z/VM is used to run OpenSolaris workloads and, if required, z/VM applications in support of those OpenSolaris workloads." I know that there are restrictions to prevent IBM operating systems from running on an IFL. I'm still looking for documentation making any other restrictions on what can be run on an IFL. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
