LPAR A 2 Z, hopefully
the name says it all. LPAR stands for Logical Partitioning. It's
the process whereby you take a single iSeries
server and logically (and to some degree physically) carve it up
into multiple iSeries servers, (called partitions) some of which
could be Linux or even AIX (Power5 only).
First I go into the reasons and advantages of why you might want to
get 'many from one', and once I've sold you on the concept I'll show
you how easy it is to accomplish. All my examples are on a new Power5
520, but the process applies to almost all supported iSeries models,
even uni processors.
At the end of the presentation I'll show you a movie I made where
I run a partition on my 520 at 1,000 percent busy, neat but not gaudy.
