3.2.1 Preparing for Installation on IBM
This section covers the preparatory steps for installing SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server
on IBM eServer p5 systems. It explains the installation from a built-in CD-ROM drive
and over the network.
This section assumes you have set up your HMC and connected it to your system. Find
more information about using the wizard to configure the HMC in "Configuring the
HMC using the Guided Setup Wizard":

Modern Features of IBM eServer p5 Systems
IBM eServer p5 systems offer the possibility to partition the system. 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 environment.
To prepare an LPAR for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, first configure the system over
the HMC. Refer to the IBM documentation for details:

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.
