Redbooks are a great resource.  www.redbooks.ibm.com

http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/abstracts/sg248000.html?Open is the one
"Working with LPAR on POWER5 for IBM eServer i5 Servers"

Also, Infocenter (www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/infocenter) is a good
resource for LPAR how-to and examples as well. 

I would recommend if you're new to the LPAR world, as simple as your
environment may seem, to attend one of IBM's classes on LPAR and HMC.
Although your particular example might be one of the easier ones, it's
always good to know the ins and outs of the whole end-to-end solution.

Subject: LPar, backup, standard procedures info.

We are implementing LPAR on our i5.  We are planning on having a
Production Side and a Development/Testing Side.  I'd like some advice
and I'd like to be able to do some reading on how to handle this simple
type of installation.  Are there any good books or articles out there?
We will be sharing a tape drive between the two partitions so any info
on backing up each side would be greatly appreciated.  What is the
simplest/best way to promote new and changed code from the
Development/Testing Side to the Production Side?

 

I would think that our situation would be one of the simpler and more
common ways of using LPAR.  Any suggestions would be wonderful.
