Mode of operation

The mode of an LP depending on the model can be General , LINUX-Only, z/VM®, Coupling Facility, or SSC .

The mode of an LP must support the mode of the control program loaded into it. General LPs support z/Architecture control programs. Coupling facility LPs support the coupling facility control code, z/VM LPs supports z/VM, and LINUX-Only LPs support Linux® or z/VM.

Use the Customize/Delete Activation Profiles task to open a reset or image profile to define the mode for an LP. The Mode field is located on the General page for the LP. (See Figure 1).
