From this window a detailed report is available, and a validation engine can be
selected to point out any errors in the configuration. If changes to the memory
configuration are required, you can edit the configuration and change the values
in error. When the configuration has been validated without error, you can feel
confident that the resources selected will provide the configuration desired. At
this point, if you choose, you can configure the system in an ordering tool, or
MES upgrade an existing machine with the additional resources required to
handle a new LPAR configuration.

5.2 Configuration rules for p5-590 and p5-595

In order to properly configure a p5-590 or p5-595, a minimum set of requirements
and constraints must be satisfied. The purpose of this section is to explain those
requirements and identify components that are needed to establish the base
(minimum) platform configuration.
Besides the accuracy of the configuration, it is also important to configure the
system that best meets the needs of the application. Individual system
application requirements such as availability, performance, or flexibility, may
require additional components or devices to produce an optimal system
configuration.
