Virtualizing Power Systems servers using the HMC Classic interface
Use this information to create and manage virtualization for your Power Systems™ servers by using the Hardware Management Console (HMC) Classic interface.
Note: The HMC Classic interface is not supported in Hardware Management Console (HMC) Version
8.7.0, or later. The functions that were previously available in the HMC Classic interface are now available in the HMC Enhanced+ interface.
- Getting started with IBM PowerVM for Power Systems
Learn how to do common PowerVM tasks, such as configuring and managing virtual resources. - System plans
A system plan is a specification of the hardware and the logical partitions that are 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 Servers by using the Hardware Management Console (HMC) or the Integrated Virtualization 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. - PowerVM Editions
Learn about the components and editions of the PowerVM® Editions hardware feature. - Power IFL
Power® Integrated Facility for Linux (Power IFL) is an optional lower cost per processor core activation for Linux-only workloads on Power Systems. - Capacity on Demand
With Capacity on Demand (CoD) offerings you can dynamically activate one or more resources on your server as your business peaks dictate. You can activate inactive processor cores or memory units that are already installed on your server on a temporary and permanent basis. Capacity on Demand offerings are available on select Power Systems. - IBM PowerVP
IBM PowerVP is a performance monitoring tool that provides detailed, real-time information about Power Systems and partitioned workloads. You can use IBM PowerVP to understand how virtual workloads use resources, analyze performance issues, and make resource allocation decisions. 
Virtualization security: PowerSC
IBM PowerSC provides a security and compliance solution that is optimized for virtualized environments on Power Systems running PowerVM and the AIX operating system.
