Whitepaper: The complete partitioning guide for IBM pSeries servers

IBM Redbooks department released a new book about virtualization on IBM pSeries:


This IBM Redbook provides a broad understanding of the logical partitioning on the IBM Eserver partitioning-capable pSeries servers. This is the most outstanding feature of these servers, because it enables the servers to run multiple operating system instances concurrently on a single system. We focus on the following topics:
– Logical partitioning overview
– Partitioning implementation on pSeries servers
– Dynamic logical partitioning
– Creating and managing partitions
– Installing and migrating AIX in a partitioned environment
This redbook is a single-source handbook for IBM and IBM Business Partner technical specialists who support the partitioning-capable pSeries servers and for application developers who need to develop or modify DLPAR-aware applications
