Okay there's your problem: You CANNOT have anywhere near 3 or 4 HUNDRED LPARs on any given single box. You need to virtualize your proposal.
You need to be thinking z/VM. While the "server" in that case would be virtual it should be "real enough" to pass any audit. (It can pass a DoD government audit, as a recent example indicates.) z/VM doesn't have issues with multiple Linux instances and it can scale up (or down) very quickly. Ideal for what you seem to be looking at. You only need one (or perhaps two, for a test z/VM) LPARs to get the concept up off of the ground and running smoothly. -- Tom Schmidt Madison, WI ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
