We do, one lpar with z/VM 5.4 and SLES10SP2 in each z10-box in separate computerhalls. The disks are shared from the disk system, that is the trick here. We use it for install CD1 and 2 (SLES10) and for WAS70 both disks are owned by a never booting zVM user and linked to in readonly mode. The user must exists in both z/VM systems and they point to the same disks devices. So you can not boot this user, in our case it has no disks besides these ones, so it is not even possible to login. Works great also across ip subnets and diff. sec. zones.

I know that can be done with guests on the same lpar but is it possible across lpars ? We are running VM 5.4 and SLES10-SP2. I welcome any ideas and suggestions.
