Logical Partitioning (LPAR)
LPAR allows workloads from multiple systems to be consolidated to a single 9000 machine, thus significantly
cutting IT costs while minimizing risk. LPAR involves a single 9000 system’s resources (processors, memory, etc.)
being divided to create multiple independent 9000 systems within the same system. The end result of this 9000
partition is the system being “separated” into a primary partition and one or more secondary partitions.
Each 9000 partition can then be used for different purposes, such as database operation or to separate test and
production environments, and can communicate with the other partitions as if they were each in a separate machine.
ESG’s LPAR services offer the planning and guidance of an experienced LPAR consultant and include:
- Hardware design and planning
- On-site inventory and LPAR validation review
- Installation of the HP 9000 server, including set up and configuration of the LPARs
- Loading secondary partitions with appropriate operating system
- LPAR configuration documentation
