I have a zVM Linux image I would like to try to IPL it in an LPAR by itself.
User direct looks like this: USER SUSE7 SUSE7 1100M 1100M INCLUDE IBMDFLT OPTION QUICKDSP IUCV ANY IUCV ALLOW IPL 211 CONSOLE 01F 3215 LINK FTPSERVE 592 198 RR MDISK 191 3390 2188 30 VVOL07 MR MDISK 211 3390 1 2609 VVOL20 MR MDISK 211 3390 1 2609 VVOL20 MR MDISK 212 3390 1 3338 VVOL21 MR MDISK 213 3390 2610 729 VVOL20 MR MDISK 311 3390 3309 30 VVOL04 MR My /boot/parmfile looks like: suse7:/boot # cat parmfile dasd=0213,0211 root=/dev/dasdb1 noinitrd I am assuming that what I have to do to make this IPL directly into an lpar would be to change the Virtual Address to real addresses /boot/parmfile. I am also using IUCV and zVM for TCPIP connecting to the machine I would also think I have to modify that to another IP address (I am thinking tha address of zVM ). Am I on the right track here or do I need to tweek more stuff? The reason why I am doing this is to test the performance of a stand-alone linux as it compares to a zVM linux. Has anyone out there tried this?, is there a lot of zVM overhead that would effect Linux performance?. Thanks, Bill
