Particularly since partitioning (LPARs) allow only about 16 on a given box; beyond that, you MUST have VM in place.
Not to mention, every time I've seen or used CMS, it has been under VM, not in an LPAR by itself. I don't think CMS can run native in an LPAR. At least they were talking nice about a s/390 type machine. Didn't understand what they were talking about, but at least they were talking nice. Garry E.
