RE: LPAR Classes ?

["Andy Nolen-Parkhouse" <aparkhouse@xxxxxxxxx>]

Chuck,

Hardware planning for LPAR is very crucial.  Before you order the 810 you
should have a clear understanding of what you want to do and how that is
implemented in hardware.  This would include backup strategies for the
partitions, upgrade plans, networking and communications.  This is not
something you're likely to do every day so it makes sense to work with a
vendor who will put in the time to understand your needs and provide you
with the sense of confidence that you'll be able to accomplish your
business requirements on the platform that ships.

If you are one of those folks who can learn from printed documentation,
it would make sense to me that your review the InfoCenter manuals related
to LPAR and then see if you need more.  There is a lot of clearly written
stuff from IBM out there on this topic.  If you don't do well with
documentation, then a course might be beneficial.
