Yes, you can. However, adding a new LPAR does require an outage since you must do a Power-On-Restart. And, of course, you must assign it some main storage, and dedicate some DASD to it. As you no doubt are already aware. Do you have the CPU power to spare? Just asking.
Just a comment on my part. Before trying to install Linux on your IBM mainframe, I'd strongly suggest that you get the company to give you a spare PC and install the same Linux distribution on it before trying to install on the mainframe. That's just to get some experience in installing Linux. This is just my opinion. -- John McKown Senior Technical Specialist UICI Insurance Center Applications & Solutions Team +1.817.255.3225 > -----Original Message----- > From: Farooq, Mohammed [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, December 26, 2002 8:34 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: > > > I am just getting started with LINUX.
