<div><p>Find information about the iSeries™ Navigator wizard that guides
|
||
|
|
you through the process of creating logical partitions on your server.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>Before you start to create logical partitions on your iSeries , see
|
||
|
|
Plan for logical partitions for assistance. Refer to <a href="../rzaiu/rzaiuintro.htm" target="_blank">Back up your system</a>, for instructions on performing
|

a full system backup.</p>

<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If you plan on partitioning an eServer™ iSeries model
|
||
|
|
with a Hardware Management Console for eServer (HMC), see the <a href="../icbase/iphat/iphatlparkickoff.htm" target="_blank">logical partitioning</a> information
|

on the IBM<sup>®</sup> Systems

|
|
Hardware Information Center.</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>Logical partitions can be created using <a href="../rzahg/rzahginav.htm" target="_blank">iSeries Navigator</a>.
|
||
|
|
In order to access logical partition functions, you must first configure the
|
||
|
|
service tools server. For more information about the service tools server,
|
||
|
|
see <a href="../rzamh/rzamhsrvtoolsrvr.htm" target="_blank">Configure
|
||
|
|
the service tools server</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You will need to use a service tools
|
||
|
|
user ID with LPAR administrator authority.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Depending on the number of
|
||
|
|
secondary partitions you plan to create, the primary partition's memory requirements
|
||
|
|
might increase. If you have allocated minimum memory resources to your primary
|
||
|
|
partition for its maximum memory configuration, you must add 8MB of memory
|
||
|
|
to the minimum memory size of the primary partition before you create secondary
|
||
|
|
partitions on your server. This increase is due to internal processing required
|
||
|
|
to support the new partition.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you do not have enough minimum memory
|
||
|
|
to start the Primary partition, you might receive system reference code (SRC)
|
||
|
|
1 B600 5390. To increase the minimum memory for the Primary partition, you
|
||
|
|
must reconfigure the Primary partition's memory. In the character-based interface,
|
||
|
|
the system will provide suggested memory minimums in the partition configuration
|
||
|
|
display screen. When creating a partition using iSeries Navigator, iSeries Navigator
|
||
|
|
will check the memory requirements and prompt you to fix them before restarting
|
||
|
|
the system.</p>
|

<div class="attention"><span class="attentiontitle">Attention:</span> It is strongly recommended that you <a href="rzaitprintconfig.htm">print</a> the system configuration for all
