RE: new partition problem

Mark,

I learned something new today about guest partitions.  The information
below is copied in from somewhere IBM's InfoCenter.  Search on 'Logical
Partition Authority'.

The authorities that you grant to service tool users determines what
logical partition information they can access and what tasks they can
perform. Care should be exercised in assigning service tool user profile
privileges to manage partition security.

Two service tool functional privileges relate to logical partitions.
These privileges support basic operations or advanced administration.

To grant a user logical partition operations authority perform the
following steps:

Start DST as QSECOFR or with any other userid with Service tool security
privilege.
Select option 5 (Work with DST environment).
Select option 3 (Service tools user profiles).
Select option 1 (Create) to create a new user profile or option 7
(Change attributes) to adjust an existing user.
Ensure that the System partitions-operations privilege is granted.
To grant a user logical partition administration authority (which
enables all operation task as well), perform the following steps:

Start DST as QSECOFR or with any other userid with Service tool security
privilege.
Select option 5 (Work with DST environment).
Select option 3 (Service tools user profiles).
Select option 1 (Create) to create a new user profile or option 7
(Change attributes) to adjust an existing user.
Ensure that the System partitions-administration privilege is granted.
