Title: Two LPARs with one head?

By using SYSAFFIN statements in the directory I believe you can use the same directory and have it separate definitions for each VM as needed. For shared volumes be sure to use CSE. XLINK and XSPOOL are your friends too.   From: Nix, Robert P. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 17, 2005 1:03 PM To: VMESA-L@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Two LPARs with one head?   How close can I get to running two LPARs using the same SYSRES volume? The System Config file supports multiple systems, and the checkpoint and warmstart data can be different for the two systems, and the paging and spool volumes can be specified differently for the two systems, but I can't see a way to run two separate directories. Or.... Can two systems run off the same directory? And if so, how could you put the directory online on the second system? I want the directories to be logically the same on both systems anyway, so using the same physical directory would be fine with me... If updates could be picked up in the second system. TCPIP can be configured using files with the system name as the file name, so there's no conflict there. How are other sites handling running two LPARs, and how much is really "sharable" between the two? I feel like I'm just missing a couple of key pieces to get this right... -- Robert P.
