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 a General , z/VM®, 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. If a Secure Service Container partition is defined and activated, a supported software appliance feature can be installed and initialized.
