Then your first step should be to call IBM and ask for a free loaner copy. They are quite flexible about this, and if you have a z10, you can just download it explicitly for this purpose without any further paperwork. It's not something that IBM makes near as much noise about as they should. It also takes the "well, that's not what you actually tested" argument off the table entirely. I agree there are workloads that require LPAR, but I'm primarily arguing that it should not be the first solution you try. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
