Hi, Andy. There are several ways you can share data between your two LPARs running VM. You can:
1) connect the two LPARs with a hipersocket connection (if your hardware permits it). Then data can be moved from a Linux image in one LPAR to a Linux image in the other LPAR using, e.g., FTP. 2) physical DASD can be shared among the two LPARs using a VM facility called Cross System Extension (CSE). It's a standard part of VM, already included in what you have installed. It allows two VM images (one in each LPAR ) to share DASD. One Linux image can access DASD in read/write mode, while another Linux image in the other LPAR can access the same DASD in read only mode. Drop me a note off list if you'd like any help getting CSE set up on your system. It's documented in the CP Planning and Admin Guide, but having a working example to go from makes life easier.....
