2.1.1 Modern Features of IBM eServer i5/p5
Systems
IBM eServer i5/p5 systems offer the possibility to partition the system like on IBM
iSeries systems. This enables the concurrent operation of up to 254 operating systems
on one machine. These operating systems are installed in LPARs (logical partitions).
One or several of these partitions can contain a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server environ-
ment.
To prepare an LPAR for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, first configure the system over
the HMC. Refer to the IBM documentation for details:

2.1.2 Hard Disk Space
Make sure that you have sufficient hard disk space for installing SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server. The standard system requires at least 4 GB of free hard disk space.
2.1.3 Assigning an Installation Device to an
LPAR
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server can be installed from a CD-ROM or DVD drive or using
a network installation source. Make the CD-ROM, DVD drive, or network device
available to the LPAR to install.
