I would say you don’t want that to happen. You could get unpredictable results. We run some REXX code in the PROFILE EXEC that does a PING to see if the IP address is live. If the PING works we do a LOGOFF. We also, in the same REXX code, read a shared control file that list all guest and which lpar is the normal lpar for the guest. If it’s not the normal lpar we stop and ask do you really want to do this.

We sometimes accidently turn on one linux guest on two z/VM systems. Both z/VM system has their own DIRMAINT and RACF. No RSCS. We add the same guest direct file to two z/VM so it makes the flexibility to boot. Is it bad to make one zlinux running on 2 z/vm? So far we didn't get any complaint. But I can't expain myself how. It has same ip address and the same dasds. sunny ________________________________ This message is intended only for the addressee. It may contain privileged or confidential information.
