|
|
<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
|
|
of your I/O resources that are allocated to all of the logical partitions,
|
|
when your setup is complete.</div>
|
|
<p>If you have already added your server
|
|
to the Systems with Partitions folder and you want to create a new logical
|
|
partition on your system, follow these step:</p>
|
|
<p>To create a new logical
|
|
partition using My Connections, follow these steps:</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<ol><li><span>In iSeries Navigator,
|
|
expand <span class="uicontrol">My Connections</span> or your active environment.</span></li>
|
|
<li><span>Select the primary partition of the system.</span></li>
|
|
<li><span>Expand <span class="uicontrol">Configuration and Service</span> and select <span class="uicontrol">Logical
|
|
Partitions</span>.</span></li>
|
|
<li><span>Right-click the physical system and select <span class="uicontrol">Configure

|
|
Logical Partitions</span> to start the wizard.</span></li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>To create a new logical partition using the service tools window,
|
|
follow these steps:</p>
|
|
<ol><li>In iSeries Navigator,
|
|
select <span class="uicontrol">My Connections</span> or your active environment.</li>
|
|
<li>Select <span class="uicontrol">Open iSeries Navigator service tools window</span> in

|
|
<p>If this is the first time you are using iSeries Navigator to create a logical
|
|
partition on this system, you first need to add your system to the Systems
|
|
with Partitions folder using the following steps:</p>
|
|
<ol><li>In iSeries Navigator,
|
|
expand <span class="uicontrol">Management Central</span>.</li>
|
|
<li>Right-click <span class="uicontrol">Systems with Partitions</span> and select <span class="uicontrol">Add
|
|
System</span>. You must provide an IP address or system name of the system's
|
|
primary partition you want to add.</li>
|
|
<li>The <span class="uicontrol">Service Device Sign-on</span> window will ask for
|
|
a service tool user ID and password.</li>
|
|
<li>Click <span class="uicontrol">Finish</span> on the <span class="uicontrol">Add System</span> panel.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>When the system is added, follow these steps to use Management Central: </p>
|
|
<ol><li>In iSeries Navigator,
|
|
expand <span class="uicontrol">Management Central</span>.</li>
|
|
<li>Expand <span class="uicontrol">Systems with Partitions</span>.</li>
|
|
<li>Select the physical system where you want to create a new logical partition.</li>
|
|
<li>Right-click the physical system and select <span class="uicontrol">Configure Partitions</span>.
|
|
You are now working in the Configure Logical Partitions window.</li>
|
|
<li>Right-click the <span class="uicontrol">Physical System</span> and select <span class="uicontrol">New
|
|
Logical Partitions</span> to start the wizard.</li>
