needed to partition your server. Evaluate each iSeries™ model to determine how your hardware
|

will function once you partition your server.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>During the process of planning for logical partitions, you must decide
|
||
|
|
how you want to configure hardware resources. You can configure each server
|
||
|
|
with logical partitions differently based on the following topics.</p>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaitchoosenumber.htm">Determine the possible number of logical partitions</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
The number of processors you want to add to a logical partition depends on the planned workload for the partition and the desired level of performance.</li>
|

|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaitchoosebusiop.htm">Select bus-level or IOP-level partitioning</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
Depending on your needs, there can be advantages to partitioning your I/O resources in different ways.</li>

|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaitchooseded.htm">Choose dedicated or switchable IOP and devices for logical partitions</a></strong><br />
|

Use this information to determine if dedicated or switchable IOP are right for your partitioned environment.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaitchoosededproc.htm">Select dedicated or shared processors</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
Partitions can use one of two modes of processors on the iSeries server.
|
||
|
|
The results of your capacity planning and system hardware configuration will
|
||
|
|
help you make a decision about utilizing dedicated processors or the shared
|
||
|
|
processor pool for each partition. </li>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaitmoveresources.htm">Perform dynamic movement of resources</a></strong><br />

You can dynamically move processors, memory, and interactive performance.</li>
