6.8.5.2.2 Special Purpose LPARs

The following types of logical partitions are included in the
special purpose category:

o Coupling Facility LPARs using Integrated Coupling
  Facilities (ICF)

o Linux Only LPARs using Integrated Facilities for Linux
  (IFL)

Special purpose logical partitions do not run RMF, and
therefore, as for non-z/OS general purpose LPARs, the amount
of information available to track their activity is limited
to the contents of the HARVPA and HARLPC files, that is, to
the high level PR/SM perspective.
