I think that they are not different for that very reason in most shops. Fear of making a mistake on the HMC or elsewhere.

LPARNAME is very often different, although I appreciate it when there's at least some sort of visual link between it and SMFID/SYSNAME. E.G. SYSA and C1SYSA vs SYSA and C1LP4. Most sites do tend to have that sort of link between them, but some don't. It seems like that would make it easier to make a mistake while working on the HMC. There's a whole lot of PRODPLEX and SYSA and similar out there. But there's also a fair number of more creative names too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
