Dynamic logical partitioning for Linux on POWER
A powerful feature of the POWER5(TM) architecture is its capability to support server consolidation through the use of logical partitioning (LPAR). Dynamic logical partitioning increases the flexibility of partitioned systems by enabling administrators to add, remove, or move system resources between partitions without the need to reboot the partition. This paper is intended for Linux(R) on POWER(TM) system administrators or application developers who want to learn how to enable dynamic LPAR on Linux, how it is used to control a partition s resources, and how to determine the changes in these resources.
