I don't know for a fact, but I'll bet that z/VM will not allow you to have a single guest run on both an IFL and a CP. I'd bet that the directory for the user will need designate either CP or IFL. If this were not true, then it might be possible to have z/OS in a "mixed" envirnoment where it IPLs on a CP, but runs some user code on an IFL. Some smart person MIGHT be able to hinky the dispatcher so that supervisor state code only runs on the CP. But I'm likely wrong. -- 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.
