Re: LPar, backup, standard procedures info.

John,
I have a customer that has that exact setup. They are a school district with their own small development staff. We initially upgraded to the i5, bringing everything over from the 720 and then we restored a backup of the "Production" partition to the "Development" partition.
First challenge was to quickly remove all source code from the production side so that the programmers wouldn't accidentally log on to the wrong partition and update the wrong source. Second we installed and configured the licensed program 5722SS1 Option 22 OS/400 - ObjectConnect. That allows us to do SAVRSTOBJ, SAVRSTLIB between the two partitions and, since we set up the routing to use the internal virtual network adapter, the transfers scream.
They don't have a CMS, they just have versioning and naming conventions that help identify and apply changes to the production objects. Again, they are a small shop (their two programmers plus our 3 or 4 depending upon the project we are helping them with).
HMC was the only challenge in the setup and it appears, for now, that it is stable (thankfully). 

HTH,

Pete Helgren

Subject: LPar, backup, standard procedures info.

We are implementing LPAR on our i5.  We are planning on having a
Production Side and a Development/Testing Side.  I'd like some advice
and I'd like to be able to do some reading on how to handle this simple
type of installation.  Are there any good books or articles out there?
We will be sharing a tape drive between the two partitions so any info
on backing up each side would be greatly appreciated.  What is the
simplest/best way to promote new and changed code from the
Development/Testing Side to the Production Side?



I would think that our situation would be one of the simpler and more
common ways of using LPAR. Any suggestions would be wonderful.
