The z/VM LPAR configuration ALLOWS general purpose and specialty (i.e. IFL) engines to co-exist within the same LPAR. You still must have the appropriate engines on the box to configure them into an LPAR (i.e. this announcement does not mean a general purpose CPU will be emulated by an IFL CPU or anything like that). It's really intended to allow z/VM to own all of the hardware resources on a given box, including a variety of CPU's (IFLs, general purpose, etc.) and let z/VM manage their use by first and second level systems. z/VM 5.4 is also required to support the new z10 Z/VM LPAR configuration.

See, from manual CP Planning and Administration version 5 release 4: "Specialty Processors Enhancement z/VM provides support for a new Processor Resource/Systems Manager logical partition mode of operation: z/VM. In a z/VM mode logical partition, ICF (Internal Coupling Facility) and IFL (Integrated Facility for Linux) specialty processors can be configured in addition to processor types of CP (Central Processor), zAAP (IBM System z(tm) Application Assist Processor), and zIIP (IBM System z9(r) Integrated Information Processor and IBM System z10(tm) Integrated Information Processor). So, the zOS and zLinux(IFL) can now run on the same LPAR under VM. Good luck. ______________________________________________ Clovis Pereira Dave Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED] are.com> To Sent by: Linux on [email protected] 390 Port cc <[EMAIL PROTECTED] IST.EDU> Subject Re: Z10 , z/VM and z/OS 07/11/2008 15:01 Please respond to Linux on 390 Port <[EMAIL PROTECTED] IST.EDU> Yes, I am afraid you do....z/Os simply will not IPL on an IFL processor.
