Setting up your IBM eServer OpenPower server

A fastpath for setting up a managed and unmanaged server

Brent Baude (baude@us.ibm.com), Linux on POWER Technical Consultant, EMC
Brent Baude is a Linux consultant for the IBM eServer Solutions Enablement organization at IBM. He is based in Rochester, Minnesota. Brent's main role is to help solution developers bring their applications to Linux on POWER. Also while in Rochester, Brent has held various positions in the iSeries development lab.

Summary:  The recently announced IBM eServer OpenPower server offers developers and users an enterprise server tuned to run Linux. With one- to four-way processor offerings, these servers have the potential to be run in both enterprise and developer environments. While Linux is no stranger to the server world, the OpenPower product line is certainly new to most people and differs significantly from any other server product line. With features like logical partitioning (LPAR), dynamic logical partitioning (DLPAR), shared-processing, and virtual I/O, the configuration and setup scenarios are virtually never-ending. This article describes a fastpath approach for the following basic setup scenarios: Setting up an OpenPower server in unmanaged mode and setting up an OpenPower server in managed mode.
