This IBM Redbook gives a broad understanding of the new
System i5 architecture as it applies to logically partitioned
System i5 systems. This functionality is delivered through a new
configuration and management interface called the Hardware
Management Console (HMC).
Reading this book will help you design your server partition
scheme from scratch. We also discuss the requirements to create
a solution to migrate from existing iSeries servers with and
without logical partitions.
This book will help you install, tailor, and configure logical
partitions (LPARs) on System i5 systems. You will understand
how to set up the server and HMC via the Guided Setup Wizard.
We also cover the creation of multiple i5/OS partitions, where the
OS could be IBM i5/OS, AIX, or Linux.
