Re: LPAR on very small machines

Not possible for several different reasons.

First of all, the rules of LPAR say that you can have systems at different
releases, but that have to be plus or minus one release from the "primary".

Under the i5, IBM says that there is no primary (a point of another
discussion), but the minimum release supported is V5R3 in any primary, and
you do need that user friendly HMC.

Even though the sales manual says a small 520
can support "more than one" logical partition,
is it really possible to do it on a small machine?

The HMC looks to be a "requirement" in the I5
series, but what would other boxes use instead of
that to control partitions ???

I have a customer that wants to keep a copy of
V4R5 in a partition and run V5R3 as the primary.
Is that even possible ???

Other than the concept, I know little if anything about
LPAR.
