No. In the current HCD, you can create any number of "placeholder" entries for future LPARs. They will have an LPAR name of "*". If you need a new LPAR, then you just change the * to the real name, assign I/O resources, then do a hardware activate. You would now see your new LPAR on the HMC and you can customize the profile for it. But you do need to have enough unassigned memory, otherwise you might need to take down a system, change its profile to decrease its memory, reactivate the LPAR and reIPL. Do this as many times are necessary to get the amount of memory you need. Then give that memory to the new LPAR. > >Perhaps you'd want to look at a VM based solution. I agree this is best. Especially with the latest z10 and z/VM. A single LPAR can now have both general CPs and IFLs defined to it. IPL z/VM in that LPAR and it can parcel out CPs to z/OS (and z/VSE) and IFLs (or CPs) to z/Linux. It is still restricted that a single guest can only have CPs or IFLs, not a mixture. -- John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
