90% of my customers use separate LPARs for the development, QA and Production environments, although most only have Dev and Prod. They do QA on the dev machine with library lists.

The customers with one or two folks in the IT department tend to do it all one one LPAR.

Because SOX requires separation of duties and authority it's not practical to have only one LPAR. I doubt you would pass an audit that way, but I suppose it could be done but geesh it would be a real challenge to set up.

Maybe your iSeries is a problem for a 10 year old machine but IBM i running on Power is anything but antiquated and has passed many SOX and GAAP audits.

What constitutes separate DEV, TEST,& PROD environments at your organization?

Must they exist on separate LPARS? Separate boxes?

Or can they all exist on one LPAR with adequate border fences?





Would it be practical to exist on one LPAR and still comply with SOX and GAAP and a typical big auditing company's security audit?

Or is that not possible in the Iseries world with the antiquated only one level of libraries and such?
