Don't know for sure but in the Power7 days with 20 LPARs per core the machine in my lab allows for 120 partitions so i 6.1 for sure. Although I have honestly not attempted to give an i 6.1 partition a triple digit partition number.

But with Power6 though you could do 10 partitions per core there and there were many machines with more than 10 processors so perhaps as far back as i 5.4.

Stepping even further back to Power5 and the high end machines easily did the same, so V5R3?

Now the Power4 stuff only did 4 per core I think so that would take a LOT of cores to hit 100 partitions. And given the LPAR technology of the time probably not so easy to do.

Suffice to say though it was a 'Long long time ago.' :-)

Out of morbid curiosity, when did the OS start allowing LPAR IDs high
enough to require 3 decimal digits?
