From: John Taylor <john.taylor@telusplanet.net> > For the benefit of anyone else who may not be intimately familiar with the > technology behind LPAR, there is a great article here: > http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/beyondtech/lpar.htm#abstract Just re-read the article. It says in there: "Previous releases are not supported in a logical partition". Now that is strange. If the LPAR can run Linux why not V4R1? or V3R7? for that matter. What would be the technical reason for this restriction? Lifting it would be great for all those shops that stay on older releases for whatever reasons. Also great for software developers for testing and ensuring backwards compatibility. +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
