Re: Green Screen SST Virtual Partition Manager 'VS' HMC Partition Manager

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Back many releases ago you could configure lpars from a "controlling" 
partition.  And there used to be an option in STRSST to do that.  We used 
to work this way.  Now that we are using an HMC if I try to take "5. Work 
with system partitions" I get:
Logical Partitioning Environment Not Supported
Virtual Partition Manager is not supported and this service 
function cannot be started.  The system is in a state that 
does not allow this operating system to partition the 
server.  Refer to the Virtual Partition Manager documentation
for more information. 

I thought that was now limited to Linux lpars only, however, this is 
showing me otherwise

Note:  I am learning new stuff as I type...
Never in this redpiece do they discuss the system console.

Can one pc be the lan console for multiple lpars?
