Just a curiosity question: Is anyone running Red Hat or SUSE natively in its own LPAR without having z/VM? I know that under z/VM you can run multiple LINUX images. It is also very easy to clone systems. However, just wondering if there are clients out there that only want to run one LINUX system. So, they are not spending the money to get z/VM and installing it. Any response would be appreciated.
We briefly ran that way when we first brought up our primary z-based RHEL system. It worked fine, but used up quite a bit of memory. We still have the LPAR configured (with the exception of the memory), so we can come up that way if we want at some point in the future. Right now, we're content to run under z/VM. -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 831 Parkview Drive North El Segundo, CA 90245 http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
