Re: What's an IASP?

Hi, Jack:

I think the only difference between a "switchable" disk pool and one 
that is not switchable is physically where the DASD that it is created 
over resides -- it is in a switchable tower that can be connected to 
more than one machine? See the topic of Clustering in the InfoCenter.  
To some extent, an IASP that can be "varied off" and then connected to a 
different LPAR and "varied on" can be said to be "switchable."

I think Larry Bolhuis or Jim Oberholtzer may be able to speak to this 
better than I can, as I think it is more of a "hardware" consideration, 
versus a software issue.
