Guest partitions

Guest partition - this is a secondary partition which is running an operating
system other than OS/400. The guest partition requires another partition to host it.
The purpose of the hosting partition is to supply paths from virtual I/O in the
guest partition’s operating system to real I/O hardware drivers in the hosting
partition. The guest partition requires a console in order to provide an interface to
DST console functions. TELNET is used to establish a guest console from the
hosting partition. The guest partition’s console should not be confused with the
console used by the operating system running in the guest partition. They are
separate console sessions.
v A user can create a guest partition or change a partition to/from OS/400 and

guest

v An OS/400 can host a guest partition providing resources and operational

support.
Within a hosting secondary LAPR service function session, the hosted guest
partition can work with the hosted guest partition IPL status. View hosting
information using option 9 on the Display Partition Information menu
