This session is designed for individuals responsible for installation or support of pSeries power5 system. This lecture will discuss in detail on how to plan install document the installation process of the power5. The course will also give visual detail from the Hardware Management Console for installing the LPARs of a system. Reviewing Processor, Memory and I/O slots requirements. This is a lecture, not hands on class, but the information will be able to be applied to real world systems.
Session Objectives: Concept of the LPAR for power5 Review Physical System and the Virtualization Fill out planning sheet Create LPAR and profile Add Processor Memory and I/O slots to the LPAR Install AIX, Linux and OS/400 partitions Review created LPAR
