Description
Splitting a Power Systems box into logical partitions is easy; planning it so you don’t have to redo it six months later is not. Three days of LPAR configuration and planning: the hardware underneath, the HMC, power management and partition operations.
Course details
| IBM course code: AN11G | Category: Power Systems / Power Systems |
| Delivery: Online & on-site** | Course length in days: 3 |
Target audience
This course is appropriate for system administrators, technical support individuals, and IBM business partners who implement LPARs on IBM Power Systems.
Desired Prerequisites:
This introductory course does not require any logical partitioning experience.
General TCP/IP knowledge is strongly recommended. This prerequisite can be met by attending TCP/IP for AIX System Administrators (AN21G).
Instructors
Our own engineers teach these courses, among them certified IBM Champions, and they are the same people who deploy and migrate these environments on client projects. On top of the official labs we add our own, built from what we have run into on site.
Added value
We adapt the syllabus to each group’s role, because what a development team needs looks nothing like what the people running the infrastructure underneath need. Beyond the task list, we work on the problems that come up in the team’s daily work, and the documentation always tracks the latest version of the product. We run groups from two attendees, in English, Spanish or French.
