 AIX 5L on IBM System i Platform Implementation Guide
 |
|
|
|
On IBM System i platform, you can run native AIX 5L with its own kernel (versus current PASE's SLIC kernel) in a logical partition (LPAR). This gives another excellent alternative to consolidate AIX 5L applications and other UNIX -based applications, running in a separate IBM eServer pSeries system or other UNIX system, onto a single System i platform.
With the new version of the AIX 5L V5.3 operating system, the same level of server virtualization, such as dynamic resource allocation, will be realized as the current IBM eServer iSeries level server virtualization. This IBM Redbooks publication discusses various aspects of AIX 5L implementation on IBM System i platforms. Our topics include:
- An overview of AIX 5L native support on System i platform including the benefits of a virtualization engine
- Planning for AIX 5L on System i platform explaining new LPAR concepts and tools on System i platform and initial sizing of an AIX 5L partition
- Installation and configuration of an AIX 5L partition on System i platform, providing a step-by-step guide for AIX 5L installation, partition setup, and maintenance that includes a scenario of virtual I/O as well as direct I/O
This book will help the system administrator to install, tailor, and configure an AIX 5L partition on System i platform. |
