Hi

RHEL for PPC(64) is the version of Linux Redhat compiled in a CICS PowerPC processor based server. That is the main difference, the processor type.

If you want to use the dlpar features (moving resources between lpars) you have to
install the required rpms:

Dynamic logical partitioning for Linux on POWER

Hope this helps
