Re: New Blade Server and LPAR ?

How do you start and use the IVM?? If have seen the virtual partition
manager that Rob is talking about in SST. How do you know what you can use
and can't use, sounds like it depends upon IBM model etc. Is it possible to
do things with the IVM/HMC/VPM where they all interact together or do they
all not get along to well. I have seen VPM and have an HMC but have never
seen the IVM. Is IVM web based using a URL then??

IVM is very easy to use to config IBM i partitions on the blade. I
assume your 2 drives are SAS drives in the DSM. The blade comes with
internal drives. You put VIOS on the internal drive. In IVM you have
physical volumes and virtual disks. You can carve virtual disks from
one or more of the physical volumes and then assign those virtual
disks to an IBM i partition. Or you can assign physical drives to the
IBM i partition. One IBM support tech told me not to run IBM i on a
virtual disk. Another would not recommend against doing it.
