The iASP method is going to be the most comprehensive way to separate the
customers on a single partition.
I have to ask why an IBM i hosted partition is that much more work than
building all the software to create/maintain the work management, user
profiles, security etc. (as a very short list of things to do). My take on
it is a hosted partition is going to be far less work in the end than the
combined approach.
Consider the IFS for a second. All the flight recorders that are on various
IBM software products are all going to comingle in a single log file for all
the customers. Bad for security, bad for bug tracking, bad for.......(fill
in the rest of the list here.)
Even setting up a new customer is a breeze with a hosted partition. You
build your initial partition with all the software loaded and basics set up
and shut it down. Now when a new customer comes along create your
partition, create the network servers and simply copy the network storage
area, add additional ones as needed and you're done. That can actually be
completely automated if you want it to be.
I'll make the strong argument that you will spend far LESS time managing a
hosted Partition than you will a shared partition.

complete isolation
Hi,
You may go a bit down that road by using iAsps to isolate the data. But in a
single lpar you will share resources such as memory and cpu and especially
the operating system. There will be exactly one QSECOFR. You will restart
the lpar, applt ptfs etc on an lpar level. Is that what you want?
Best regards

Subject: Running two separate customers in a single partition with complete
isolation
Hi,
The obvious answer to this would be to use Logical Partitioning and two
partitions but does anyone know of a tool that can effectively secure a
single partition so that two customers could operate on the same partition
completely independently?
I know that I can use in built security to secure libraries, IFS, output
queues etc...but this will require manual setup and maintenance.
Thanks
