Anyone have a good "step by step" guide to using the HMC to create a Linux partition using virtual I/O ? I found a pretty good HMC tutorial in the Redbook "Logical Partitions on the i5" the subtitle of which is "A Guide to Planning and Configuring LPAR with HMC on System i". Interestingly, it doesn't address Linux using the HMC, only Linux using LPM (although the subtitle would indicate otherwise).
I have a customer with an iSeries 520 9406 running V5R3M0. They have two processors, 1 currently dedicated to an i5/OS partition for production, and 1 currently dedicated to an i5/OS development partition. I'd like to change the development partition so that it was sharing the processor and then create a Linux partition that was using, say .2 of the processor.
I set it up the way I thought I should but when I try to activate the Linux partition, it tells me that I don't have the resources available to do that. So, I am guessing that my guesswork and assumptions were wrong as I blundered through trying to set it up. Rather than pepper this list with the details, if I had a good step by step example of slicing up a partition for Linux using the HMC, I could at least assume that I got the steps right, then walk through the details.
Anyone point me to a good "step by step" guide to using the HMC to create a Linux partition using virtual I/O ?
Thanks. Pete Helgren
