<h1 class="topictitle1">Hosted versus nonhosted partition running Linux</h1>
<div><p>Linux runs in both a hosted and nonhosted partitioned environment.</p>
<p>A <dfn class="term">hosted</dfn> partition uses I/O resources that belong to a hosting i5/OS<sup>®</sup> partition.
The hosting i5/OS partition
can either be a primary or a secondary partition. The I/O resources that a
hosted partition can use from a server include disk, CD, and tape devices.
</p>
<p>The hosted logical partition must be started from the hosting i5/OS partition
by varying on a network server description (NWSD). The NWSD is used to control
the logical partition. The logical partition can only be active when the server
is both active and out of restricted state. When i5/OS is in restricted state, all NWSDs
are automatically varied off. An i5/OS partition can host multiple logical
partitions. You need to perform proper <a href="http://www.as400.ibm.com/lpar/lpar004.htm" target="_blank">capacity planning</a> <img src="www.gif" alt="Link outside Information Center" /> to ensure that the server can support logical partitions.
</p>
<p>You should not power on a hosted logical partition using the Work with
Partitions Status display. If you power on the logical partition running Linux
using the Work with Partitions Status display, none of the virtual I/O devices
will be available. </p>
<p>A <dfn class="term">nonhosted</dfn> logical partition is not dependent on a hosting i5/OS partition
for any I/O resources. The logical partition has its own disk units or the
partition makes use of networking support to do a network start. A nonhosted
logical partition can be started even if the primary partition is not fully
active. A nonhosted logical partition can be started from the Work with Partitions
Status display.</p>
