LPAR (Logical Partition) 란
Ability to make a server run as if it were two or more independent servers
Resource on the server into subsets called logical partitions
Assign processors, memory and I/O devices to logical partitions
Supported OS : AIX, IBM i , Linux , Virtual I/O server
Share a few system attributes : serial number, system model, processor feature code
Partitioning tool : HMC (Hardware Management Console) or IVM (Integrated Virtualization Manager)

IBM Power Systems
Benefits of LPAR
Consolidating servers
Sharing resources
Maintaining independent servers
Creating a mixed production and test environment
Merging production and test environments
Consideration set the server to deconfigure failing processors or memory
modules automatically in ASMI administering a consolidated system might be more difficult in
some ways than administering multiple smaller systems.

Components of Power 5 Hardware
CEC – Contains processors, memory, service processorPower System/RIO Link – links to connect enclosuresExpansion Towers – DASD, BusesHypervisor – Firmware to virtualize all hardware for each partitionOperating Systems – i5/OS, AIX, LinuxHMC – Hardware Management Console

IBM Power Systems
What is a Hypervisor?
LOW level hardware virtualization software
Runs on CEC (main system) CPU and resides in CEC Memory
Loaded into the CEC by the FSP on base system IPL
Provides various RAS functions to partitions
Virtualizes all system hardware into multiple, independent, logical partitions (memory, CPUs, buses, etc)
Provides Virtual and/or Dedicated processor resources
The Virtual Service Processor (VSP) is part of the Hypervisor
Virtual TTY, Virtual Serial, Virtual Ethernet
© 2009 IBM Corporation
IBM Power Systems
What is a Service Processor?Service processors have been around for a long time. In older, non-partitionable hardware, the service processor was a separate, embedded computer that supported the main OS.
On partitioned hardware, all partitions have a Virtual Service Processor (VSP), provided by the Hypervisor. VSP functions include:
Manage OS debugging (Mainstore dumps, Virtual I/O)
Provides access to various system settings
Provide a virtual control panel for a partition
Provide various HMC interfaces for partition control

LPAR Basic Definitions
Dynamic LPAR: Ability to move resources between partitions without shutting down a partition
Micro-Partitioning: Ability to assign partial processors to a partition, for example, 2.6 processors (smallest unit is .1 processor)
Dedicated Partition: Whole processors only, assigned to a partition
Shared Processor Pool: A group of physical processors that provide processing capacity that can be shared among multiple logical partitions
Capped: Logical partition will never exceed its assigned processing capacity
Uncapped: Partiton’s assigned current processing capacity can be exceeded, up to the partitions’s current virtual processor setting when the shared processor pool
has any unused processor power
Uncapped Processing Weight : Available unused capacity is distributed to contending logical partitions in proportion to the established value of the uncapped weight. 64=Low and 255=High (default = 128)
예 ) Partition2= 64 , Partition3=255 : unused processor capacity 가 있을 경우 Partition3 가 Partition2 보다 4 배 더 processor capacity 를 할당 받는다 .

Hardware Management Console (HMC)
Single console for POWER5 server
• Pre-installed Linux-based workstation
• Ethernet, desktop or rack mount
• Supports local consoles, including 5250 console
• Web-based System Manager enables local or remote management for HMC control and status
Required on POWER5/6 servers to create/change partitions (LPAR) or to use Capacity on Demand
• Replaces primary partition and improves system resiliency
• Not required to operate the partition

1. Local Modem – This option enables you to send problem information and system data to
your service provider using the modem on your HMC. You may want to select this option if the following are true:• Your HMC does not have access to a high-speed Internet connection. • You do not have any I5/OS logical partitions with high-speed Internet
connections
2. Internet VPN– This option enables you to send problem information to your service
provider using a high-speed Internet connection on your HMC – This is the fastest connection option available on the HMC, but some
environments restrict this type of connectivity for security reasons. Before you select this option, be sure your company's security policy permits this type of connection

• Service information and problems flow from each logical partition to the service provider using a VPN connection, as follows: – Linux logical partition > HMC > OS/400 service partition > Service and support – AIX logical partition > HMC > OS/400 service partition > Service and support – OS/400 logical partition > HMC (for service information) > OS/400 service partition > Service and

• Partition Profiles– Users can create multiple, named profiles for each partition
• Provides the ability to predefine multiple partition configurations• Useful, for example, for predefining “on demand” server images for
different workloads– Users activate a partition by selecting a profile– For POWER5 systems, profiles define:
• Partition type (AIX/Linux or OS/400)• Processor allocation type (dedicated or shared)• Resource requirements (processors, memory, physical I/O, virtual I/O)• Resource max/min boundaries• Boot mode• Workload Management partition groups• Partition policies (service authority, monitoring, etc.)
– Profile 이 생성될 때는 overcommitted resource 를 validate 하지 않음
– Profile 이 Active 될 때 , overcommitted resource 검증 – Profile 을 변경 후 IPL 을 해야 적용됨 .
• Restart 를 하면 안되고 Power off 후 Power on 해야 함
