Thanks all for the responses. From the HMC panels I suspected that
it is possible to share IFL across LPARs running z/VM.
I do have a second level z/VM but for realistic tests of RSU, D/R
configurations and training, I feel more comfortable with an under-
resourced test LPAR.
I understand that if the test LPAR is not up, then the production
will use all the CPU. We have 6GB memory for the IFL. If I give
512MB to the test LPAR, I think that should be sufficient. May be
784MB if needed. Current work load is very minimal that even 1GB to
the test LPAR would be quite acceptable.
Besides, this will allow us to bring up the test linux guests under
test z/VM environment ...
Uh, all of which you could do, with a lot more flexibility, second
level.
