My opinion: If the SYSPLEX capacity for each LPAR is designed to accept the workload of another LPAR and you have procedures in place to move the load from one LPAR to another, it should be possible to do that. After all, that is the main purpose of creating a SYPLEX.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or concerns! Thank You!

IMO, customers that are stuck in the old way of doing things should not serve as a model for others. -- Tom Marchant On Tue, 18 Jul 2023 06:52:02 -0400, David Spiegel <dspiegel...@hotmail.com> wrote: >Hi Brian, >One of my customers decided (many years ago) to upgrade software/apply >maintenance once a year (on each of their 4 complexes). >There are not enough weekends in the year to do this more frequently >(due to other groups doing upgrades and "blocked out" weekends). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
