2.2 Preparing for Installation on an
IBM pSeries Models
This section covers the preparatory steps for installing SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server
on pSeries systems. It explains the installation from a built-in CD-ROM drive or a
network source.
2.2.1 Special Features of IBM pSeries p630,
p655, p670, and p690
IBM p630, p655, p670, and p690 systems offer the possibility to statically partition the
system similarly to eServer p5/System p5 (which is described in Section 2.1, "Preparing
for Installation on IBM eServer i5/p5, System i5/p5, and OpenPower Models"
(page 6)). This enables the concurrent operation of up to 16 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 environment.
To prepare an LPAR for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, first configure the system over
the HMC. Refer to the Redbook IBM eServer pSeries 690 System Handbook (SG24-
7040-00) for details (http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/
SG247040/).
