System plans
A system plan is a specification of the hardware
and the logical partitions contained in one or more systems. You can
use system plans in a number of ways that are useful for managing
your system.
Logical partitioning
You can set up, manage, and troubleshoot AIX®, IBM® i,Linux, and Virtual I/O Server logical partitions
by using the Hardware Management Console (HMC), Integrated Virtualization Manager, or Virtual Partition Manager. By creating logical
partitions, you can reduce the footprint of your data center by consolidating
servers, and you can maximize the use of system resources by sharing
resources across logical partitions.

offerings to dynamically activate one or more resources on your server
as your business peaks dictate. You can activate inactive processors
or memory units that are already installed on your server on a temporary
and permanent basis.
