We investigated this (some time ago) and found it to be *VERYEXPENSIVE. Keep in mind that the reason why you buy an AS/400 is to get one integrated product from one vendor, and when it breaks, you have one finger to point in one direction. As you start to add other things into the mix, you add complexity and uncertainty. Today, you can move a switchable IOP from SST or OPs Nav. Our product (APRM) will have a move-IOP command later this summer, as IBM sells a PRPQ that does the same, all of which run only in the primary partition.
