Re: Going LPAR

[Al Barsa <barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Before you go ecstatic about having identical QSRLNBR in each partition,
there is a partition ID that software providers can use to identify/license
which or how many partitions!

In addition to what everybody else said:

- Having only one serial number simplifies paperwork for software ordering,
support services, etc.

- I like being able to move memory & CPU around to give various partitions
a boost. Sometimes you have to IPL, though, at least with V5R2.

- Having a primary partition (pre-HMC) gives you remote control panel
functionality for the secondary partitions as long as you can remotely
access the primary. My understanding is that theoretically an HMC would do
this, too, if it were as stable as my primary partition and had some remote
access software on it.
