You can enforce the same caps on LinuxONE engines that you can on z System IFLs.
To elaborate on that suggestion (which I like), you can also define a 5th LPAR if you wish that's outside the LPAR group. Allocate a bit of memory to that 5th LPAR, and use the 5th LPAR as a z/VM and/or Linux testbed (for example), without your licensed Oracle software. That'll provide an environment for testing z/VM and Linux patches and updates, as a "bonus." And/or you can play with KVM, Hyperledger, Apache Spark.... whatever you like, really, as long as you're still honoring all license agreements. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: sipp...@sg.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
