Re: LPAR Specifications

[Glenn Ericson <Glenn-Ericson@xxxxxxx>]

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.
