Don't have to go for full CSE, just need a single authoritive domain for the LPARs. That will let you share data via SFS, do cross-system messages with CMS Pipelines, and even look at ESAMON data from the other systems. If you can't afford the CTC's, current IPGATE version can at least do the SFS part. This can even do userid mapping if you need. Rob
