        I though LPAR == partition?

Argh, my bad.  Let me restate it:

For example, we have Linux in an LPAR w/ 1024MB of memory.  This LPAR
resided on a 6 CPU 1,271 MIPS Sysplex w/ 18GB of memory.

Much better.  (I apologize, I'm a UNIX guy, not a Mainframe guy, so my
terminology gets skewed from time-to-time.)
