Minimizing downtime by using IBM HACMP to perform software upgrades in a single frame IBM eServer pSeries LPAR environment

  

Customers have clearly identified availability, scalability and flexibility as the primary requirements of their IT infrastructure. To deliver on these requirements, IBM eServer™ pSeries® has added numerous capabilities such as Dynamic Logical Partitioning, Capacity Upgrade On-Demand and Capacity Backup, helping make pSeries the fastest-growing UNIX® business servers.
