METHOD, APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR IMPLEMENTING PLANS FOR LOGICAL PARTITION (LPAR) SYSTEMS

摘要

A method, apparatus and computer program product for implementing plans for logical partition (LPAR) systems includes the generation of a representation of existing hardware and LPAR configuration of a system that is used as input for further LPAR planning and configuration modeling to enable producing accurate and valid plans for possible deployment. The existing system is surveyed and the representation of existing hardware and LPAR configuration of the system is generated. The representation is applied to a partition planning tool and used to create a plan for the LPAR system.
