Hmmmm, basic mode means no LPAR (i.e. VM owns the whole box). Does the z800 REALLY have LPARs (i.e. one LPAR) defined, or is it running in basic mode? It does make a difference, as you can see from the SIE discussions.

We acting as a DR site for another university. The other university wants to bring in their zVM 5.3 and run it under our zVM 5.2 system. Our z800 is running in basic mode with 1 lpar, running the zVM 5.2. At this point, we have no idea how few Linux servers they are bringing and their function.
