Re: lpar on 520 Express Edition

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

And to piggy back on this question, do all LPAR activities require an 
HMC?  I thought that you could use the VPM tool to create and manage the 
partition but the document you referenced seems to indicate that all 
LPARing has to be done from an HMC.  The Redbook on VPM seems to 
indicate that the VPM can only be used for Linux.  Does that mean then 
that i5/OS partitions can only be created and managed with an HMC?  This 
about the only thing I am unclear on when it comes to LPAR's.

Thanks,
