Me again, the know-nothing newbie that MAY be getting an iSeries.

This is a question on running in LPAR mode. One of the other guys here is
reading a RedBook about Performance Management on the iSeries. It said
something about Primary and Secondary Partitions. In particular, it said
that you have one "Primary" partition. If the OS in that partition fails,
then all other partitions fail.

Looking at the V5R3 stuff, so far, it appears that this is no longer true.

So: with i5/OS V5R3, is there a "Primary Partition", an outage on which will
terminate the systems in all other partitions? This is definately different
than zSeries where the hypervisor does not depend in any way on any LPAR.

Inquiring minds want to know <grin>.
