After creating your logical partition and partition profile, you must install an operating
system. For installation instructions for the AIX®, IBM® i, and Linux® operating systems,
see Working with operating systems and software applications for POWER7™ processor-
based systems. For installation instructions for the Virtual I/O Server, see Installing the
Virtual I/O Server and client logical partitions.
Dynamic Logical Partitioning
Dynamic logical partitioning is useful when you need to free up some resources to be used in
another machine, but you cannot afford to take down time at the time you need the resources.
Using dynamic partitioning allows you to assign or remove resources when needed.
Assume the current configuration is not utilizing all the memory assigned to the Web Server
Partition. We want to de-allocate some memory from this sytem to use on another LPAR.
However the Web Sever is still handling web requests.
To perform the dynamic de-allocation we will use the HMC.
To get to the HMC interface see the Steps above to Create an LPAR.
After logging into the HMC
From the Welcome screen navigation pane on the left, select the “+” next to Server
Management.
Select the “+” next to Servers. To see the server that is attached to the hmc.
Select the Server under the Servers listing to get to the partitions screen See Figure 13
below.
