I'm back to this old thread.--
I want to take Pencor07, currently a sandbox LPAR, no important data, which currently exists with all its own hardware, convert it to a new NWS client LPAR which will be hosted by Pencor06.
I don't think Restore 21 will work.
Would it simply be easier to build the Pencor07New NWS from scratch on Pencor06.
Except for all the current Pencor7 system configuration settings, there is no data on Pencor07 of any importance.
I thought of another solution that might be easier.
Can a current NWS client be moved, renamed, and reconfigured to a new host.
Could I copy current inactive NWS client Pencor08, from one host Pencor07, to another host Pencor06.
Then I need a process to IPL/reconfigure this new client Pencor08Copy from its new host Pencor06.
This is in preparation for my 2016 P7 to P8 migration, which will be "collapsing" Pencor07 to a NWS client.

As Rob suggested you can use multiple hosts but I would only do that transitionally *OR* if I really wanted to have storage mirrored between two hosts. Uses a lot of disk but gives (in theory at least) a bit of extra redundancy.

Larry,--
I currently have 3 LPARS, 05, 06, 07, all with their own hardware.
This will only work if the new client (08) will be on the same current host (05), which they are not, correct.
In my scenario, the new client (08) will be hosted from a different
LPAR (06) then the existing LPAR (05)

SAVE and REsTORE (option 21) is the documented 'it works' procedure.
BUT you can also:
Build the host partition.
Create the 'virtual' storage there to host the current 'physical'
partition. (CRTNWSSTG)
Add this 'virtual' storage to the 'physical' partition.
Use live disk migration to move all but the load source 'physical'
storage to 'virtual' storage.
IPL to DST for the load source migration (DEDICATED) Finally IPL to the new 'virtual' load source with a new partition profile.
You might have an outage as low as an hour this way. I have done several of these always successful.
You DO need twice (plus a little) the disk capacity available to pull this off BUT you likely would have that because you wouldn't virtualize unless you intended to build other partitions.
