I love it when management gets involved in technical architecture. It may work if you share the IFL amongst 12 LPARs. How well it will work depends on the workload. Maybe they're talking about Zen?

Is this true and how? The management around here heard this statement a while back and are now on a quest for us to create an LPAR for the IFL to run multiple Linux images on it. I must have missed the memo and I am looking for what I may have missed. Thanks in advance. ____________________ Jim Hughes Consulting Systems Programmer Mainframe Technical Support Group Department of Information Technology State of New Hampshire 27 Hazen Drive Concord, NH 03301 603-271-5586 Fax 603.271.1516 Statement of Confidentiality: The contents of this message are confidential.
