You really don't want to build multiple lpars for the Linux images. You really should run these images under VM. IBM has special VM pricing for VM under an IFL.

The business mission is a kilo boat load of Linux images, not real z/os images. My knee jerk plan is to shrink a z/os image, and redistribute the resources across a large number of small Linux images. Or was that just a nice dream? Be gentle; I am just learning how to spell IFL ;-) Thanks!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
