Dynamic Logical Partitioning for Linux on POWER

Posted by Hemos on from the learn-how-to-do-more dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Logical partitioning provides POWER processor-based servers with the capability to do server consolidation and optimize system resources. Dynamic logical partitioning enhances this capability by providing control of the allocation of the resources without impacting the logical partitions availability. Linux on POWER supports dynamic LPAR for changes to physical I/O, virtual I/O, and processor resources."

  1. Cool, but still buggy by Kris2k · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I've worked on it on a few times, and its still a bit buggy, but IBM seems to never cease to amaze me by pulling-out new patches on a daily/weekly basis. With time, this technology will perfect itself, and when it will, it will really rock, for now, I'd still go with a BladeCenter + SAN.
