You're not really specifying the requirements.. but reading between the lines - you want to be able to bring up the guest on one LPAR or the other.. so you will have to share the full volumes.

What 'is' the requirement? ;-) You can set things up to actually be live on both systems if you want - Scott On Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 2:08 PM, Robert J McCarthy < [email protected]> wrote: > We have a growing VM/Linux environment with currently about 75 linux guests > spread across three VM lpars.
