MDF partitioned the cache; LPAR doesn't, since the 9672, according to my contacts within IBM. I don't remember MDF partitioning the cache. Indeed, part of the reason for the way the domain dispatcher was designed was to limit the effects of one doamin impacting the cache of the others. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
