Everything, including KVM, runs within an LPAR. On a single z System you can define 1 LPAR, or (on the z13) up to 85 LPARs, or any number in between. After that, within each LPAR running KVM, you can define from 1 virtual machine up to whatever maximum number of virtual machines each KVM LPAR can support from a resource point of view. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
