Calculates number of operating system license(s) needed to support partition design
Validates number of virtual slots required for partitions
Important: We recommend the use of the LVT to calculate Hypervisor requirements to
determine memory resources needed for all partitioned and non-partitioned servers.
Figure 2-7 on page 35 shows the calculated Hypervisor memory requirements based on
sample partition requirements.
Figure 2-7 LVT screen showing Hypervisor requirements
The LVT is a standalone Java™ application that runs on a Microsoft® Windows® 95 or later
workstation with 128 MB minimum of free memory.

2.8.5 Client-specific placement and eConfig
The LVT also provides the output report that is used for the Customer Specified Placement
(CSP) offering. The LVT output is uploaded on the CSP site for submission to manufacturing.
The CSP offering enables the placement of adapters and disks for an exact built-to-order
system based on the client's specifications. Manufacturing uses the LVT output to custom
build the server. The server will be shipped configured with the features placed as indicated in
the LVT.lvt output file.
The server configuration must include the CSP FC 8453. This CSP feature code is selected
on the Code tab in the IBM Configurator for e-business (eConfig) wizard. See Figure 2-8 on
page 36 for a screen shot.
