The support statement is expected to be for Linux only, true, but that could change. And, as usual, you may find things that work even if they are not supported. The trick is for the guest to (a) not panic in the event of a detected 'glitch', and (b) not to use any of the z/VM services that are not relocatable. > 2) The move is restricted to LPARs on the same CEC, so no moving from > one z10 box to another z10 someplace else. Not true. The preferred cluster design is, in fact, two LPARs on one CEC and two LPARs on another. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
