<h1 class="topictitle1">Plan for logical partitions</h1>
<div><p>Understand the hardware and software requirements needed to successfully
implement logical partitions. Read and go through the preorder tasks of completing
the planning work sheet.</p>
<p>Once you understand logical partition concepts, you are ready to develop
a plan that evaluates your hardware resources, software release levels, and
your company's immediate and future workload demands. This section guides
you through the necessary steps in the planning process before you create
partitions on your iSeries™ server.</p>
</div>
<div>
<ul class="ullinks">
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaitunderstandhardware.htm">Hardware requirements for logical partitions</a></strong><br />
Determine if your hardware resources meet the minimum requirements
needed to partition your server. Evaluate each iSeries model to determine how your hardware
will function once you partition your server.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaitsofthard.htm">Software requirements for logical partitions</a></strong><br />
Learn what release levels are supported and how you can partition your system to support new functions.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaitlinux.htm">Plan for Linux in a guest partition</a></strong><br />
Prepare your server to run a non-<span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> operating
system in a partition. Understand the hardware resources needed to install Linux<sup>®</sup> on
a partition.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaitorder.htm">Order a new server or upgrade an existing server with logical partitions</a></strong><br />
Determine if you need to purchase new hardware or upgrade existing
hardware for your company. IBM<sup>®</sup> can assist you in placing the correct order that
meets your partition requirements.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaitdesign.htm">Design your logical partitions</a></strong><br />
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.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaitexamples.htm">Examples: Logical partitioning</a></strong><br />
Review examples of different iSeries models running variations of
the logical partition concept. Create unique partition set-ups using Bus-level
or IOP-level configurations.</li>
