The LPAR Validation tool emulates an LPAR configuration and validates that the planned partitions are valid.
In addition, the LPAR Validation Tool allows you to test the placement
of i5/OS® and
Linux hardware within the server to ensure that the placement is valid. Refer
to Logical Partitions 
for information on the LPAR Validation Tool (LVT).
Contact your IBM® marketing representative or IBM Business Partner to enter the order. You can enter the order by using the iSeries™ configurator. The configurator has been enhanced to support ordering IOAs without IOPs when a Linux partition is being defined.
When placing the order for a server with resources that support Linux in a logical partition, specify feature code 0142.
