Yes, it's possible ...until they want Linux machine #16 and you don't have any more LPARs to give them (until your z990 arrives). > I assume one of the advantages to running zVM would be to create a > development environment for them parallel to the Oracle application. The advantages are too long to list here. You also can take advantage of lots of neat automation and cloning functions that aren't currently possible in LPARs, you get lots more "play nice with z/OS" function, and so on. Kind of a religious question, that, but there are partisans for both environments.
