Learn about the planning steps that you should consider before deploying a virtual computing environment.
Planning your virtual computing environment is the first step you must take when creating a virtual computing environment. Sufficient planning helps you ensure that your virtual computing environment is configured in a way to meet your computing needs and that you are using your hardware resources effectively.
Use the System Planning Tool (SPT) to streamline the planning and deployment of your virtual computing environment. The SPT can help you plan the number of virtual resources to assign each logical partition and can help you determine where to place hardware within the server to support your logical partition needs. To help you plan for workloads and performance, the SPT incorporates the IBM® Systems Workload Estimator (WLE), and uses performance data collected by IBM Performance Management for eServer™ System i®.
