Re: LPAR Classes ?

Chuck,

We hired it out, through Sirius.  (My boss is pretty tight with them.)  We 
worked side by side with them to gain what knowledge we could and we 
picked up a lot.  Hiring it out may be the way to go, unless you plan on 
becoming a LPAR consultant yourself.

They did an extensive amount of prep work.  On the weekend of, that fellow 
must have put in 30+ straight hours.  (We ran into some strange save 
issues, etc that delayed the start of the LPAR.)  Documentation was 
fantastic.  Some of the local CE's have done a few LPAR's (and were a tiny 
bit bummed they didn't get the job).  To others that have helped me out 
and maybe were hoping for a shot at the job, sorry, your name may have 
been mentioned, but when the boss gets a direction in his head...  Oh 
well, it worked out.

Based on what they did, I created another partition later on this system. 
And ran it by them.  But actually did the work myself.

IBM also has a LPAR validation tool, some redbooks, etc if you want to 
roll your own.

Hi Folks,

 

I'm not sure I know much more about LPAR than to be dangerous and we are
looking to upgrade a 620 to an 810 with LPAR.  Should I be looking at
attending an LPAR class in Rochester ?

Thanks !

Chuck
