Sure, I've done it. You need to do two things. First, create an "partition" just like you would for another z/OS LPAR. While doing this, you can put the appropriate CHPs on the access list for the new LPAR. Then go into "Operating System Configurations" and create a new OS configuration. Make the "Operating System Type" equal to VM instead of MVS. Now create any new devices needed and put them, along with any required existing devices, on the access list for the new LPAR. Make a production IODF, then a IOCDS. Do a POR with the new IOCDS (unless on a z9?) to create the new LPAR. Define the LPAR characteristics on the HMC screens like you do for an MVS LPAR. Eg. the LPAR weight, the number of CPs to assign (shared/dedicated), the storage size, etc. Also, to be very blunt, you could just create a new z/OS type LPAR and OS configuration and IPL z/VM in it. The LPAR definations don't really care what OS (z/OS, z/VM, z/VSE, z/Linux) is running in the LPAR. All that I can see different between the "MVS" and "VM" values in "Operating System Type" is that "MVS" has an EDT associated with it and "VM" does not. Very high level, but there is really no real difference at the IOCDS level between the types of LPARs, other than a CF type LPAR. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
