Re: IFL question

[David Boyes]

Depends on your processor type. If the IFL is defined in the LPAR as shared, it can be up to the maximum your hardware supports (although you won’t like the results very much if you run amok and define 255 LPARs on one processor of your shiny new z9).   At one point in the past, there was a restriction that there had to be at least one LPAR defined on a standard engine (so standalone diags based on z/OS utilities could run), but I think that’s gone now that there are all-IFL systems out there.   David Boyes Sine Nomine Associates From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Gentry Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2006 5:01 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: IFL question   I may be mixing apples and oranges here, but I know you guys will set me straight. How many LPARS/partitions can an  IFL  support? Thanks, Steve G.
