Re: New Blade Server and LPAR ?

HMC is the way to go.

I really don't understand IVM.  Too bad it's documentation is not as clear 
as VPM or Virtual Partition Manager which states:
Virtual Partition Manager
The Virtual Partition Manager is a feature of IBM i that allows you to 
create and manage one IBM i logical partition and up to four Linux logical 
partitions on a single IBM System i® server. You can use the Virtual 
Partition Manager to create logical partitions on any IBM System i model 
that does not require a Hardware Management Console (HMC).  To use the 
Virtual Partition Manager, you must first install IBM i on an 
nonpartitioned server. After you install IBM i, you can initiate a console 
session on IBM i and use System Service Tools (SST) to create and 
configure Linux logical partitions. IBM i controls the resource 
allocations of the logical partitions on the
server.
