Re: System i LPARs

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have read some material on LPARs but I was under the impression
that is was (1) Pain to set up
            (2) Expensive to set up
            (3) Requires more Unix background than I have
            (4) Machine Pig for smaller boxes

I was involved in VM/370 many moons ago and that required a
pretty serious machine for that time frame.

Joe seems to be talking about LPAR on a fairly small machine.

Did something suddenly change ?
