Re: LPAR Specifications

Steve There is only one Processor f/c and one interactive f/c per system - LPAR introduces logical division of that systems resources into partitions. One serial number for the system but you can identify partitions now.
LPAR takes and divides one physical system up into logical partitions using full or partial processors, which appear to be separate systems. Now the total CPW /CPWi gets divided amongst the partitions... and the sum never exceeds the total. In the case of a uniprocessor it can be divided into up to 4 Partitions [LPARS] if there are sufficient resources.

In case were code will not run - it might be on a different release. Meaning a feature was in the original release that is not in or supported by the target partitions release as one example.

Is it possible for there to be situations where the processor or interactive
feature code is different in one or more partitions of a single physical
machine?  Or are they all the same across all partitions (along with the
serial number, of course)?

I've seen situations where users were unable to get an application to work
in one partition using the same license code that was generated for another
partition, so they had to have a new code generated.  It wasn't clear to me
exactly what was different about the partitions.  Was it because it wasn't a
shared processor LPAR implementation?
