Aix - Partitioning Tools - Virtual Partition Manager.
The Virtual Partition Manager is a feature of i5/OS that allows you to create and manage one i5/OS logical partition and up to four Linux logical partitions on a single IBM System i5 or eServer i5 server. You can use the Virtual Partition Manager to partition any IBM System i5 or eServer i5 model that does not require a Hardware Management Console (HMC), such as a model 595.

Aix - Partitioning Tools - Integrated Virtualisation Manager
The Integrated Virtualization Manager is a browser-based system management interface for the Virtual I/O Server. The Integrated Virtualization Manager allows you to create and manage AIX and Linux logical partitions on a single IBM System p server. On Open Power servers, the Integrated Virtualization Manager supports only Linux logical partitions.

The Hardware Management Console (HMC) is a hardware appliance that you can use to configure and control one or more managed systems. You can use the HMC to create and manage logical partitions and activate Capacity Upgrade on Demand. Using service applications, the HMC communicates with managed systems to detect, consolidate, and send information to service and support for analysis.

Aix - Logical Partitioning - Managed Systems
A managed system is a single physical server and the resources that are connected to the physical server and managed by the physical server as a single
unit. Connected resources can include expansion units, towers, and drawers, and storage area network (SAN) resources that are assigned to the server.
In the above picture, you can see the logical partitions on each managed system, with the operating systems installed on the disk drives of the physical server and the connected expansion units. The HMC is connected to both managed systems simultaneously and allows you to manage both managed systems from a single
location.

AIX - Limitations of Logical partitioning
AIX - Limitations of Logical partitioning
•Processor and memory failures might result in the failure of the entire server with all of its logical partitions. (The failure of a single I/O device affects only the logical partition to which the I/O device belongs.)
• There are many concepts that we must understand to implement logical partitions successfully on server.
• Administering a consolidated system might be more difficult in some ways than administering multiple smaller systems, particularly if the resources in the consolidated system are used at a level close to their capacity. Sharing resources.

Using high-availability application software, your partitioned server can run as an integrated cluster. You can use an integrated cluster to protect your server from most unscheduled failures within a partition.

Aix - Logical Partitioning - Merging production and test environments
Partitioning enables separate partitions to be allocated for production and test servers, eliminating the need to purchase additional hardware and software.When testing has been completed, the resources allocated to the test partition can be returned to the production partition or elsewhere as required. As new projects are developed, they can be built and tested on the same hardware on which they will eventually be deployed.

Aix - Logical Partitioning - Creating a mixed production and test environment
We can create a combined production and test environment on the same server. The production partition can run your main business applications, and the test partition is used to test software. A failure in a test partition, while not necessarily planned, will not disrupt normal business operations.

Logical isolation of software can be achieved by dedicating a portion of the resources (disk storage unit, processors, memory, and I/O devices) to a partition Software’s which might not run well together on a single machine, can be isolated and run efficiently in separate partitions.Logical partitions also have some hardware fault tolerance.
