RE: Partitioning a 525

["Wintermute, Sharon" <Sharon.Wintermute@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can handle the software side and have nearly all of that sorted out.
It was the 595 rack move that I was concerned with.  I understand what
you mean about "point".  Now I have a better feel for what needs to be
done. 

Just in case, I intend to have two complete backups on hand. 

Thank you!

As long as the software(LIC/OS) on the LPARs-to-be on the 0595's
supports  
the hardware on the 525, then I see no problem.

I will take some planning when creating the LPAR's on the HMC to make
sure  
you "point" to the correct load source, etc.

One other consideration is that the system serial number will change and

that may effect both 3rd party and IBM lic keys.

I've done it, and it was not that hard to do.
