LPAR Configuration and Implementation

LPAR Configuration and Implementation

The ACS LPAR Configuration and Implementation service is designed to assist customers with the configuration and implementation of a logical partitioned Power Systems (System i) system. Logical partitioning (LPAR) enables a single server to operate as if it were two or more independent servers. Each logical partition represents a specific allocation of server resources.

An LPAR environment provides better management, improved availability, more efficient resource utilization and increased flexibility during the deployment of multiple independent workloads. Primary resources on a managed system include processors, memory, disk drives and adapters. These operating systems operate as independent logical servers. Each partition shares the system serial number, system model and processor feature code. All other system attributes may vary among partitions.
