I am sorry, Dave. Please elaborate what you said. By default, all POWER4 machines (which the p630 is) have LPAR implemented on them. So I assumed that my machine was indeed running in LPAR mode - I am not aware that a p630 can be run without LPAR mode. Are you saying that the firmware needs to be configured to enable LPAR mode? Please reply.

The firmware level I am running is RR030324. The firmware level on which the binary ran successfully is RR021114.

Thanks again for your help.
