Re: How hard is it to create an LPAR?

If  you are on  an i5  an HMC is  required to manage  and create LPARS
and  systems  with On Demand used. I'd also  suggest you understand how
to use IBMs LPAR Validation tools as part of your  basic planning cadre

It's really not that bad.  Knowing the hardware requirements is the
biggest thing.  Things to think about is getting you tape drive and
optical drive on their own IOP.  You can switch that really easy.  I
use SST to do it but you can use OPS Nav as well.
Other than that once you get an IOP and DASD controller dedicated it's
not bad.  I used OPs Nav for that as well.

There is a LPAR validation utility that seems fairly easy to use.
It's been a while since I've used it though.
