Networking is where you are most likely to have to make changes. Involve your network engineering team early and often. Don't get stuck using the ed editor to make changes to networking files from the 3270 console after you've moved the image to the new lpar.

I need advice or a pointer to documentation (if available? presentations, official publications, Redbooks...) on how to move a Linux guest from one z/VM LPAR to another. Now, I know this could probably be pieced together from an assortment of z/VM product documentation or multiple Redbooks, but I am hoping someone in this community has done this before. Even a set of high-level "steps" would prove invaluable. Does anyone have any insight? z/VM 6.1, SLES 11, all FICON. Thanks in advance and I hope everyone has a great weekend. Michael J.
