<div><p>Perform capacity planning and complete the planning worksheets
needed to successfully create partitions on your server. Examples of capacity
planning worksheets and planning hardware worksheets guide you through the
process.</p>
<p>After understanding the hardware and software requirements for logical
partitions, it is time to develop a detailed outline of your company's immediate
and future workload demands for each partition. You need to consider how these
demands will change your system resources. You should focus on the workload
demand in each partition and then determine the hardware resources required
to achieve the desired server performance.</p>
<p>You can start the planning process for each partition on your server by
completing the following topics.</p>
<p>Refer to the <a href="http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/lpar/" target="_blank">Logical Partition</a> <img src="www.gif" alt="Link outside Information Center" /> web site for additional information on planning for
logical partitions.</p>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaitrunpartition.htm">Decide what runs in the primary and secondary partition</a></strong><br />
Each secondary partition on an iSeries™ server acts as an independent
system on the server.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaitcapplan.htm">Capacity planning for logical partitions</a></strong><br />
Capacity planning will help you determine how many partitions you need for your business and how much hardware you need in each partition.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaitlvt.htm">Use the LPAR Validation Tool</a></strong><br />
The LPAR Validation Tool (LVT) emulates an LPAR configuration and
validates that the planned partitions are valid. In addition, LVT allows you
to test the placement of <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> and Linux<sup>®</sup> hardware
within the system to ensure that the placement is valid.</li>
