Uh huh. And so can z/VM, and so can KVM for IBM z Systems and LinuxONE. Moreover, I would argue that Concurrent Processor Drawer Add and Concurrent Processor Drawer Repair/Replace are extremely sophisticated instances of live system movement within an IBM z System machine, and they are unique. You just never think about them that way because the system magically does all the work as the technician pops processors drawers in and out. It's like performing brain surgery on an Olympic athlete at the same time she's swimming to win her gold medal. That said, it's always much more important to focus on the services and service qualities actually delivered, or not. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
