I've been asked to look into "seat based licensing" for z/OS and for this I need a unique z/OS image name for the license. I can see that an LPAR has an ID (a number) and a name. The LPAR ID appears to be unique, but is the name unique or effectively unique? By 'effectively' I mean would a duplicate name be problematic.
Also, are LPAR names and IDs normally paired/tied, or might they change? Would a license based on the LPAR ID rather than name be acceptable?
