I thik you misunderstand. The 12 Linux images don't all run in a single LPAR. You make 12 LPARs. Share the one IFL between all 12 LPARs. I don't remember the upper limit for the number of LPARs on each different z. We run 3 z/OS systems on 2 CPs with no z/VM - by using LPARs. Nothing magic. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
