Logical partitions require that certain resources for secondary partitions occupy specific card positions in System Expansion Units and Storage Expansion Units on iSeries™ servers.
The LVT output or the Configuration Planning Worksheets will provide the necessary card placement information to satisfy your specific partition requirements.
IBM® Manufacturing places features in servers to optimize performance as a singlehandedly server. If you plan to order a new server to support logical partitions, some card movement may be required after customer installation. Card movement may be a billable to the customer. If you plan to upgrade an existing server to support logical partitions, the card placement instructions that usually accompany an upgrade may be incorrect. Additionally, some already-installed cards may need to be moved.
