On AIX, the module produces logical partition (LPAR) information running AIX 5.3 or above on IBM eServer pSeries systems and IBM System p5 systems, where the IBM Hardware Management Console (HMC) is used to configure and manage the LPARs and the server system.
A logical partition is the division of a computer’s processors, memory, and storage into multiple sets of resources, such that a set of resources can be operated independently with its own operating system instance and applications. The number of logical partitions that can be created depends on the system’s processor model and resources available.
The Hardware Management Console (HMC) provides a standard user interface for configuring, managing, and monitoring the logical partitions on the IBM eServer pSeries systems and IBM System p5 systems. It consists of a 32-bit Intel-based desktop PC running AIX or Linux with a DVD-RAM drive. The following illustration shows the relationship between the LPAR, its server, and the HMC:
Note: The versions of the HMC supported by the AM remote agent are v2.0 to v7.0.
