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).

Course Objectives:

  • Explore PowerVM features and their role in IBM i virtualization
  • Identify hardware components across Power Systems, Flex System, and Power Blade models
  • Understand virtualization options, reliability features, and single points of failure
  • Use System Planning Tool (SPT) for designing or updating system configurations
  • Explain Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) and its impact on performance
