   LPAR, Logical PARtition.  It's a virtual machine of sorts, able to 
run its own independent OS.  Crash it, reboot it, do anything you want 
with it...other partitions don't care, and don't even know.

   Bringing it up isn't going to be an instant thing...I just got info 
about its disk arrays; they pull more power than my house, so I won't 
be able to start the project here, gotta arrange for actual company 
space for that.  Also...there aren't two machines, there's one.  Sad, 
but I'm not really complaining I suppose...one will solve the problem 
for work.
