<h1 class="topictitle1">Load source placement rules for secondary partitions</h1>
<div><p>Each logical partition requires a load source disk unit. </p>
<p>The load source contains the Licensed Internal Code. The server uses the
load source to start the partition. Each secondary partition has a specific
slot placement for its load source depending on the type of system unit or
expansion unit where it is installed. An IOP and IOA is then required to control
the load source disk unit for each partition.</p>
<div class="attention"><span class="attentiontitle">Attention:</span> The information provided does not replace the LPAR
Validation Tool. This information should be used as a resource with the LVT
output. It's purpose is to assist you in the load source placement for your
secondary partitions.</div>
<p>The load source disk for a secondary partition must be placed as follows:</p>

<p>You should be aware of these rules for secondary partition load source
placement:</p>
<ul><li>You specify the load source IOP when you create your partition.</li>
<li>Disk compression must be disabled for the load source disk.</li>
<li>Disk units must have at least 1GB of usable capacity.<div class="attention"><span class="attentiontitle">Attention:</span> A
parity-protected 1GB file (6602 or 6605) cannot be used.</div>
</li>
<li>Disk mirroring requires two load source disk devices in valid load source
positions.</li>
<li>External disk units can not be used.</li>
<li>Any disk IOP or IOAs that can attach to a system capable of having logical
partitions can be used for additional storage capacity once the special requirements
for load source disk are met.</li>
<li>Each partition has its own single level storage and hence its own ASP
configuration. The same rules for ASP configuration apply within a partition
as apply on a system without logical partitions.</li>
<li>Disk protection can be defined for a partition in the same way as for
a non-partitioned system: parity protection (RAID), mirroring, or mixed. Bus-level
mirroring requires two buses in the partition. IOP-level partitioning requires
two disk IOPs in the partition.</li>
<li>Disk units that are already in use by a logical partition can not be added
to a different logical partition. You must first remove them from the configuration
of the partition that is using the disk units before adding the disk units
to a different partition. In doing this, the system automatically moves any
user or system data to other disk units in the same ASP.</li>
<li> For a 5094 or 5294, you can attach load source disk units to a maximum
of 9 storage IOAs. Also, a 5094 or 5294 can have load source disk units for
up to six secondary partitions. </li>
</ul>
