<h1 class="topictitle1">Logical partition release support</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>Systems with logical partitions have the capability to support
|
||
|
|
more than one version of OS/400<sup>®</sup> or i5/OS™.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The logical partition strategy is to support up to four different releases
|
||
|
|
on the same system, provided that all releases are supported on the server
|
||
|
|
model. The releases that you can install on a particular server depend upon
|
||
|
|
which releases are supported on the server model and upon which release you
|
||
|
|
choose to install on the primary partition (which will be denoted in this
|
||
|
|
article as the reference release, or P).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the primary partition is running Version 4 Release 5 (V4R5) or earlier,
|
||
|
|
you can install and run the following releases on the secondary partitions,
|
||
|
|
provided that each release is supported by the server model:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>The release before the release on the primary partition (P - 1) </li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The release on the primary partition (P) </li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The release after the release on the primary partition (P + 1)</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>The only exception to this rule is when the primary partition of 6xx, 7xx,
|
||
|
|
or Sx0 servers runs V4R4. In this case, you can install V5R1 on a secondary
|
||
|
|
partition of those servers.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For example, if V4R5 is running on the primary partition of a server, you
|
||
|
|
can install V4R4, V4R5, or V5R1 on the secondary partitions, provided that
|
||
|
|
the server supports those releases.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If the primary partition is running V5R1 or later, you can install and
|
||
|
|
run the following releases on the secondary partitions, provided that each
|
||
|
|
release is supported by the server model: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>The release before the release on the primary partition (P - 1)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The release on the primary partition (P)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The release after the release on the primary partition (P + 1)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The second release after the release on the primary partition (P + 2)</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>For example, if V5R1 is running on the primary partition of a server, you
|
||
|
|
can install V4R5, V5R1, V5R2, or V5R3 on the secondary partitions, provided
|
||
|
|
that the server supports those releases. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The logical partition functionality that will be supported on your server
|
||
|
|
depends upon the server model and upon the releases of OS/400 and i5/OS that you have installed on the server.

||

|
||

server model, see Evaluate the hardware limitations of the iSeries(TM) servers.
