Hi People
Has anyone done a LPAR install on zSeries and then migrated to a zVM infrastructure ?, any ideas on this ?. I would look at the LPAR install just so that we get a head start on the project , the zVM is part of the IBM bundle that will come a little later in the project.
Assuming you can get the DASD used for the Linux LPAR on the new z/VM system, it would be fairly trivial to make a virtual machine that looks very much like the LPAR you have now. The Linux system should then run in the virtual machine like it did in your LPAR The network configuration may need some planning ahead depending on where you come from and where you go to. If the z/VM is on the same machine as your Linux LPAR was, then you could simply pick up a device on the same shared OSA port.
When you proceed you could either dismantle this Linux server and move applications and data to other virtual machines, or make changes to exploit things in VM.
