RE: Question about setting up LPAR

I took a quick look at it when we upgraded to a 520.  We would have
needed additional hardware/software$$$.  Dropped it quickly.  What is
your business need for it?

subject: Question about setting up LPAR

I have been told that our iSeries Model 270 has the
capability to have two partitions.

I do not have any experience with partitions (using them or
creating/configuring)

Is this a fairly easy thing to do?

Is there a document that outlines the steps to follow to
change our 270 to have two partitions?

Are there any "Gotchas" I should be aware of before
starting?

Is this a project that take a couple of hours or is the a
weekend project? 

(I can't afford to have our system unavailable Monday
morning because I attempted something over my head)

Thanks for any assistance you have to offer
