6.8.5.2.1 General Purpose LPA/Rs

The general purpose LPAR type encompasses the following:

o z/OS logical partitions

o z/VM logical partitions operating in PR/SM ESA/390 mode

o z/VSE logical partitions

o z/TPF logical partitions

General purpose logical partitions exclusively use resources
from the standard CP processors' pool.  The only exceptions
are z/OS LPARs configured with zAAPs and/or zIIPs.

Because only z/OS logical partitions can create SMF type 70
subtype 1 records, the amount of information available to
track non-z/OS general purpose LPARs' activity is limited to
the contents of the HARLPC file, that is, to the high level
PR/SM perspective.  For these partitions, RMF does not
provide any view from inside the operating system, unlike
z/OS LPARs.
