About This Publication

This publication is intended for system planners, installation managers, and other
technical support personnel who need to plan for operating in logically partitioned
(LPAR) mode on the IBM System z9 Enterprise Class (z9 EC) and IBM System z9
Business Class (z9 BC).
This publication assumes previous knowledge of the characteristics and functions of
the installed central processor complex (CPC).
To improve readability, we refer to the different CPCs using the following
terminology whenever possible:
Some features, panels, and functions are model-dependent, engineering change
(EC) level-dependent, machine change level-dependent (MCL-dependent), or
control program-dependent. For this reason, not all of the functions discussed in
this publication are necessarily available on every CPC.
Sample tasks and panels explained in this publication reference tasks and panels
available from the support element console. However, detailed procedures for
operator tasks and accurate task and panel references are explained in the Support
Element Operations Guide.
Some illustrations and examples in this publication describe operation with as few
as 2 logical partitions (LPs), although up to 60 LPs can be defined.
Hardware Management Console operators or support element console operators
should use the appropriate operations guide for instructions on how to perform
tasks. Control program operators should refer to the appropriate control program
publication for information on control program commands.
