Yes. A CP can do everything that an IFL can do, plus a bit more (like run z/OS). When you get your IFL, all you need to do is change the LPAR defination to use the IFL instead of a CP and when you shutdown Linux/deactivate LPAR/activate LPAR/IPL Linux, the Linux system will run, as-is, on the IFL. I.e. you don't need to do anything to switch from using a CP to an IFL other than change the LPAR defination on the HMC, __no__ changes are needed in Linux if all you do is change the CP to an IFL. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
