In your case, stick with standard engines (ESA/390) and define the LPAR just like your z/OS LPARs with shared processors. Also, define ONLY the devices that Linux will be allowed to use. If you share all devices, your Linux will a) take forever to IPL, and b) have unfettered access to all your data. Linux pays no attention to any z/OS security system or dataset protections. Your gun, your head. To save you enormous grief, ask IBM for a trial copy of z/VM. Linux in LPARs is a royal PITA, and you'll get much better ROI from running Linux in VM guests. It's also a lot safer if you're sharing hardware with another OS, eg z/OS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
