Save logical partitions

Each logical partition functions like an independent server, so you should perform backups accordingly. However, you can also connect them together, or even to another server. This has some of the same backup benefits as a clustered environment and as a set of connected servers. In these ways, logical partitions can provide you with some unique and helpful backup procedures for your server.

This section covers the information you need to know to make backing up data on your logical partitions easier.

Attention: If you are using the Hardware Management Console for eServerâ„¢ (HMC), you must back up the HMC in addition to saving the individual logical partitions.
