What’s new — Last updated 26 February 2008

This update provides a significantly enhanced System Planning Tool (SPT). Highlights of the new SPT functionality follow:

Added support to convert an HMC or Integrated Virtualization Manager system plan to an SPT system plan
Added support to allow comments and order status on expansion units
Added the ability to change order status on multiple items at once
Added support to record the alternate restart device for i5OS
Added support for partition profile names
Added support to allow utilization of unused dedicated processors
Added capability to copy systems between system plan files
Choose the "Add..." option from the Work with Planned Systems panel and select "Import from another system plan"
Added support for creating Virtual Ethernet Adapters in Linux, AIX, and VIOS partitions which communicate on multiple VLANs
See Release Notes for additional details.

可以直接导出配置,然后到导到ECONFIG做配置清单.

52A的机器在SPT工具里面划二个LPAR 可是在LPAR2里面怎么也添加不了硬盘

最吸引的是第一个改进，以前那是我最痛恨spt的地方，如果它能解决这问题，那spt就很好用了。

试了，果然有convert功能，不过还没完全试清楚，基本的硬件阿分区阿都正确，但转换后可能不可以做deploy。有待测试。

Integrated Virtualisation Manager
The Integrated Virtualisation Manager (IVM) literally allows you to point, click and consolidate workloads with its easy to use browser-based interface. The IVM lowers the cost of entry into POWER™ virtualisation since it does not require the use of a hardware management console for single system partitioning. With IVM, you can partition a single system, including the creation of LPARs, and management of virtual storage and virtual Ethernet. Best of all, IVM is included at no additional cost with the optional purchase of Advanced POWER virtualisation on most IBM System p™ entry to mid-range models as well as the BladeCenter JS21 and JS22. It is packaged in the Virtual I/O Server.

The Integrated Virtualisation Manager is an ideal solution for:
Smaller to mid-sized businesses looking to consolidate existing workloads onto one or two POWER servers, or
Businesses with a geographically distributed IT infrastructure which would otherwise require a Hardware Management Console (HMC) for each location, like a organisation with many branch locations)

Here is a sampling of what you can do with the Integrated Virtualisation Manager:
Create and manage logical partitions
Configure the virtual Ethernet networks
Manage storage in the Virtual I/O Server
Create and manage user accounts
Create and manage serviceable events through Service Focal Point
Download and install updates to device microcode and to Virtual I/O Server software
Back up and restore logical partition configuration information
View application logs and the device inventory

Advanced POWER™ Virtualisation usage scenarios-how clients can benefit from virtualisation
With IBM System p™ and BladeCenter® JS21 and JS22 servers coupled with Advanced POWER Virtualisation (APV), there are many opportunities for consolidation and simplification of the IT environment. Key benefits of these virtualisation solutions include:
Reduce total cost of ownership and make better use of IT assets by significantly improving server utilisation and sharing I/O resources.
Improve business responsiveness and operational speed by dynamically re-allocating resources to applications as needed - to better match changing business cycles or handle unexpected surge in demand.
Simplify IT infrastructure management by making workloads independent of hardware resources, thereby enabling clients to make business-driven policies to deliver resources based on time, cost and service-level requirements.
Virtualisation has multiple usage scenarios to attain these benefits and to assist clients improve their IT efficiencies, effectiveness, and management. The scenarios below are only a sample of the capabilities available using Advanced POWER Virtualisation:

Server consolidation of several environments including:

Underutilised servers enabled by APV fine tuning granularity capabilities.
Mixed workloads enabled by APV LPAR, dynamic LPAR, and Shared Pool flexibility features.
Applications with varied and dynamic resource requirements enabled by APV partition load manager and on-demand capabilities.


Rapid deployment of new workloads enabled by APV profiles and management processes:

Greater exploitation and fault avoidance of I/O devices enabled by APV Virtual I/O capabilities.
Lower cost, higher performance interconnect capabilities enabled by APV Virtual LAN support.


Application development and testing in secure domains enabled by APV partition isolation and security features.


Support multiple operating system environments for testing, migration, or application optimisation with APV multi-operating system support:

Virtual BladeCenter to provide a single server "blade-like" implementation of parallel workloads with dynamics to support on demand application needs enabled by APV dynamic logical partitioning and Partition Load Manager.
Low cost approach to selected business continuity solutions with simplified management enabled by the combined features of APV.
