Pete,

I see you gave a " Virtual i partitions hosted by IBM i" presentation at Orlando. I've downloaded it and will study it. Did you by any chance make any changes for your Common Europe presentation?

Any particular IBM manuals you recommend?

Thanks,
Sam

(Missed the Orlando presentation--left late on Wednesday.)

You don't need to worry about multiple controllers as the M25 is a
power6 processor, and it can do virtual LPARS. This means, that an
IBM I partition on 6.1 or later can host another IBM I partition at
6.1 or later. It's extremely simple to do ( I gave a presentation on
this earlier this week at COMMON Europe) and the only thing you need
is an HMC if you have a Power6 or
Power7 machine, and both your hosting and hosted partitions can be
either 6.1.x or 7.1. I have been building these for my customers now
for the past year and they work great.
