Re: LPAR Specifications

No,

The system values QMODEL, QSRLNBR and QPRCFEAT and consistent across all
partitions.  Assuming that you are using licensing that uses these metrics
(as IBM's licensing does), then it should run in any partition given enough
memory, disk, yada, yada, yada.  There is a unique partition ID that can be
retrieved by an API that a different licensing technique could use.  I know
of a few vendors who do that.

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?
