RE: LPAR Classes ?

Hey Glenn,

Is your space bar stuck?

And from the story that was told (IIRC), I believe IBM was supposed to do
the config/install but the contract didn't get approved - meaning that
planning wasn't being done b/c someone else was supposed to be doing it.

All bickering aside, his machine works, he knows more about LPAR, all is
well.

Marty. I share your  double digit multi platform  career.
Maybe  what  I  should have  said  was  how different  would it have  gone 
if you  did the planning up front, got the configuration validated then did 
the  work?
