Overview
This
chapter
introduces
the
characteristics
of
logical
partitioning
and
migration
and
compatibility
considerations.
Processor
Resource/Systems
Manager
™
(PR/SM)
is
standard
on
all
z9
EC
and
z9
BC
models.
Prerequisites
for
Operation
The
prerequisites
for
operation
are:
v
Programming
compatibility
v
Hardware
support
v
Operator
training
v
Programming
support
–
Control
program
support
–
Input/Output
Configuration
Program
(IOCP)
support
PR/SM
PR/SM
enables
logical
partitioning
of
the
central
processor
complex
(CPC).
Logical
Partitioning
PR/SM
enables
the
logical
partitioning
function
of
the
CPC.
The
operator
defines
the
resources
that
are
to
be
allocated
to
each
logical
partition
(LP).
Most
resources
can
be
reconfigured
without
requiring
a
power-on
reset.
After
an
ESA/390,
ESA/390
TPF,
or
Linux
®
-Only
LP
is
defined
and
activated,
you
can
load
a
supported
control
program
into
that
LP.
If
a
coupling
facility
logical
partition
is
defined
and
activated,
the
coupling
facility
control
code
is
automatically
loaded
into
the
LP.
Central
Storage
Central
storage
is
defined
to
LPs
before
LP
activation.
When
an
LP
is
activated,
the
storage
resources
are
allocated
in
contiguous
blocks.
These
allocations
can
be
dynamically
reconfigured.
Sharing
of
allocated
central
storage
among
multiple
LPs
is
not
allowed.
On
System
z9,
all
storage
is
defined
as
central
storage.
Allocation
of
storage
to
logical
partitions
can
be
made
as
either
central
storage
or
expanded
storage.
Any
allocation
of
expanded
storage
to
an
LP
reduces
the
amount
of
storage
available
for
allocation
as
central
storage.
See
If
no
storage
is
allocated
as
expanded
storage
and
no
other
LP
is
currently
active,
an
individual
LP
can
have
a
central
storage
amount
equal
to
installed
storage
minus
the
size
of
the
hardware
system
area
(HSA).
The
sum
total
of
all
LP
central
and
expanded
storage
cannot
exceed
the
amount
of
installed
storage
-
HSA.
Storage
allocated
to
LPs
never
includes
HSA.
Central
storage
in
excess
of
2
GB
should
only
be
allocated
in
an
LP
that
has
an
operating
system
capable
of
utilizing
the
new
64-bit
z/Architecture.
Expanded
Storage
Optional
expanded
storage
is
defined
to
LPs
before
LP
activation.
When
an
LP
is
activated,
the
storage
resources
are
allocated
in
contiguous
blocks.
These
allocations
can
be
dynamically
reconfigured.
Sharing
of
allocated
expanded
storage
among
multiple
LPs
is
not
allowed.
