4 Logical Partitions on System i5
Figure 1-2 Reallocating resources with system profiles
򐂰 A disaster recovery site. Businesses have disaster recovery sites providing backup for
multiple partitioned servers. It is possible to create a system profile for each server to be
recovered, and then within that system profile, to define the partition profiles.
Figure 1-3 Disaster recovery site
Note: In many cases this reallocation of resources through system profiles may not be
practical, as it requires all partitions to be stopped twice, once at the start of night
processing and again to reset for the start of day processing.
