IVM enhancements
Industry leading functions in this release include:
– Support for dynamic logical partitioning (dynamic LPAR) for memory and
processors in managed partitions. This can be done on the command-line
as well as in the IVM Web interface.
– IP configuration support for IVM
After initial configuration of TCP/IP, the Web interface can be contacted;
from that time on, new interfaces can be created and configured via the
Web interface.
– Task Manager for long-running tasks
The last 40 tasks can graphically be monitored and shown with the button
“Monitor Tasks” in the Web interface. Every task can be examined to see
the properties of that task.
2.1.2 Additional information
There is a number of resources listed in “Related publications” on page 443 that
should be considered for further reading and information.
There exists an encouraging collaboration as well as exchange of knowledge that
will help with many questions ranging from performance monitoring and tools,
virtualization, and AIX 5L to Linux on <strong>POWER</strong>.
Follow this link to start an overview of the forums available in the AIX 5L and
Linux on <strong>POWER</strong> community:
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/p/community/
We want to encourage you to participate in the community. It already contains
much information and continues to grow. AIX developers are also contributing
their knowledge and help as well as many users of the technology. The more
participants work interactively in the forums and wikis, the more useful it will be
for everyone concerned with <strong>POWER</strong> processor based machines.
