We are researching the possibility of putting up a LINUX LPAR on our z/890 for a Proof of Concept. We currently have 3 general purpose CP's turned on in the box. All 3 of the general purpose CP's are available for use to the 3 z/OS LPAR's we run on the machine, none of the CP's are dedicated. I know on the HMC's Activation Profile you can select the LPAR mode ESA/390 or LINUX (and a few other options as well).
What I'd like to do is Build a 4th LPAR to be a LINUX LPAR, assign that LPAR just a single processor, it's own Devices via IOCP along with a chunk of memory. This LPAR would just be for me to play around with and learn on. Now my question is the following. Since all three of my General Purpose CP's are shared across LPAR's that are EAS/390 Mode LPARS, can I use one of those same three General Purpose CP's for this LINUX Mode LPAR? Or must all LPAR's assigned to a CP be defined as the same mode type? i.e. EAS/390 or LINUX. -Thanks Dave. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
