Only on the new z10. It is not possible on previous hardware. I don't know if z/VM supports this or not. z/OS, z/VSE, et al. do not support the use of an IFL in any manner, form, or fashion. And, IIRC, the z/VM support does not allow a single guest to mix'n'match GPs with IFLs either. It is allowed on a z10 so that it would be possible to have a single, very large LPAR, and run z/OS guests and z/Linux guests in the same z/VM hipervisor. In previous incarnations, you'd have at least 2 LPARs, running separate z/VM systems. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
