LPAR - From Start to Finish
With IBM's Dennis Zimmerman

This one-day seminar explores the issues regarding the planning, implementation of LPAR's on an i5/OS system. The seminar will be part lecture and part live demonstration on a live system.

Presentation Description Overviews: Basics of Logical Partitioning

When can you have more than one system within one eServer System i? When it has been logically partitioned. See how to use a Hardware Management Console (HMC) to create and manage a logical partition. This feature is very beneficial for running multiple releases on the same machine, testing a new release, testing PTFs, testing new versions of your applications, separating application data or running AIX or Linux on your eServer System i and more! This session will describe logical partitioning and show how you can have an eServer System i with multiple personalities.

eServer System i Logical Partitioning by Example

In this session see a big picture overview of planning and installing a managed system and creating a partitioned environment before actually creating a secondary partition as you watch. See activation of the partition and view allocated resources. If time permits see how to move resources between partitions with Dynamic Logical Partitioning (DLPAR). Also see how the Hardware Management Console (HMC) can be used as the console for a partition.

Advanced Topics for eServer System i Logical Partitioning (LPAR)

In the session learn about new function for LPAR such as:

• Donated dedicated processors
• Virtual shared processor pools
• Host Ethernet Adapters (HEA)
