As it turned out I answered my own question yesterday late afternoon. I can create multiple groups, and assign the same lpar to as many groups as I desire.
I can assign a different activation profile for the same physical lpar in each group. I can see the benefits and potential problems by doing so. The team discussed it this morning and we're all good now. Mark Jacobs Sent from ProtonMail, Swiss-based encrypted email.
