Training Summary
Learn the concepts of Logical Partitioning (LPAR) for Power Systems with IBM i. In this course you begin with an overview of LPAR on Power Systems, followed with more detailed information on configuration planning and implementation using hands-on exercises to create and implement logical partitions.Also, learn about partial processors, dynamic allocation and reallocation of memory, processors, interactive Commercial Processing Workloads (CPW), buses, Graphical User Interface (GUI), Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN), Host Ethernet Adapters (HEA) and System Planning Tool (SPT). In this course you will use IBM Power Systems including the Hardware Management Console (HMC).
Prerequisites
You should have:some knowledge of Power Systems architectural conceptssome experience with Power Systemsattended Hardware Management Console (HMC) for Power Systems with IBM i (OL52G) or have the equivalent knowledgeEntry level knowledge of LPAR on current systems is helpful, but not required.
Duration
3 Days
Audience
