We don't want it part of SES, at least not the SES that exists today. We may be faced with a requirement that "other group" installs our changes or at least signs off on them. Joe Operator needs to be able to confirm that PTF UMx is installed. I don't want him on MAINT. I want him to issue

My opinion of this is: 1) it should support all of the components of z/VM and not just CP. 2) it should be part of the SERVICE command, or at least part of VM/SES. I do like the approach LE takes, being able to see what service is for any given module. DJ On 4/11/2011 10:54 AM, Schuh, Richar

Leland, Please define "dedicated". IIUC, "dedicated" really pertains to the LPAR definition. If an engine/CPU of any type) is "dedicated" at the LPAR definition and the HMC, that LPAR is only place it can be used. If the engine/CPU is not dedicated, then it can be varied off one LPAR, and va

I should know this, but my aging mushy stuff just isn't working for me today. If we define multiple z/VM LPARs with dedicated IFLs, can those IFLs be moved from one LPAR to another? Is it as simple as "vary off..." and "vary on..."? Thanks, Leland
