Thanks Daniel,Frank,David,Rob I have the HMC opposite my desk, so doing the install off CD no hassle, the reason for the LPAR install is for us to get some hands on before the project officially starts. I was just concerned we would have to build from scratch (which we might do any way) .

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.
