Logical Partitioning for iSeries POWER5-based servers

Prerequisites:

You should have some knowledge of architectural concepts and experience with the i-Series system. Entry Level knowledge of LPAR on current systems is helpful, but not required.

Course Description:

Learn basic and advanced concepts of Logical Partitioning (LPAR) for i-Series POWER-5 based servers. Begin with an overview of LPAR on the i-Series, followed by configuration planning and implementation using hands on exercises to create and implement logical partitions. Partial processors, dynamic allocation and reallocation of memory and processors plus interactive CPW buses and I/O devices. Learn to setup a Linux partition, VLAN and use of the LVT LPAR Validation Tool.

This course is aimed at iSeries support specialists, Business Partners and customers implementing LPAR.
