My understanding is that LPAR name changes could be dynamic since the z990 was delivered. I've been advising people for years to have extra LPARs (yes that is plural) defined to avoid the need for the POR, and the z990 allowed sites to have extra LPARs defined and then to change the name to something meaningful when they were ready to use those LPARs.
No one wants to be person to point out "Building that LPAR is a good idea, but we need to shut down the whole machine to define it". You have some time to rename your LPAR or define new LPARs because the earliest date to collect data for SCRT is 2Apr2007. Al Sherkow, I/S Management Strategies, Ltd.
