RE: YAIQ - Yet another ignorant question: multiple LPARs.

Use remote database directory to use the database on another LPAR. This
is DRDA under the covers. You can also connect to DB2 on your mainframe
from your i. When using LPARs, the "ethernet" (or SDLC if you prefer) is
through the system backplane, so it is very fast.

Yep, mine are color coded also.

Green (go): Dev
Yellow (caution): Qa
Red (stop & think): Pdn

Extention of my question to those who use multiple LPARs. If I
understood correctly, it is not possible to share files between LPARs.
That is, if I have a CL on the Dev LPAR, then I cannot run that CL from
the Pdn LPAR unless I copy the CL from Dev to Pdn. Is this correct? Is
there a way to keep my files on different LPARs synchronized? On Linux,
I use NFS to share my /home directory between machines (and LDAP to
"share" my password). In Windows, it is shared via normal CIFS sharing
(my "home" is on the LAN, the C: drive does not contain "my" files) and
Active Directory. Is there anything similar on the i?
