Operating System/400, 5769-SS1
500 AS/400e System Handbook
OS/400 is licensed once for the entire system by its normal processor group, regardless of
the number of partitions. License management across partitions is not supported. OS/400
V4R4 must be installed on each partition. Previous releases are not supported on a logical
partition.
The Web site
http://www.as400.ibm.com/lpar is available for installation support and technical
guidance. Early adopters of logical partitioning on the AS/400 system should rely on this Web
site for information regarding the installation and management of LPAR on the AS/400
system.
LPAR Enhancements with V4R5
LPAR allows for the simultaneous running of multiple independent servers — each with its
own processors, memory, and disk — within a single symmetric multiprocessing AS/400e.
This capability was first introduced in V4R4 and is enhanced with V4R5 to include:
• Multiple OS/400 versions (V4R4 and V4R5) within a partitioned environment is on 6xx,
Sx0, and 7xx servers only.
• Updates to Software Licensed Management (SLM) APIs allowing customers and
business partners to monitor usage counts across the system rather than each
partition.
• An increase in the maximum number of partitions from 12 to 24 on the 8xx server
models.
• Improvements in power management to minimize abnormal IPLs of secondary
partitions when the primary partition initiates a system power down.
For terms and conditions regarding software license keys for LPAR systems, refer to
“Software Keys and Guidance for LPAR System Upgrades” on page 527.

Integration with Windows NT Server
Integrated Netfinity Server for AS/400 includes an Intel 333 MHz Pentium II processor and
support for up to 1 GB of memory. The faster processor and larger memory size help to
provide increased performance and capacity for Windows NT applications. This integration
features:
• System drive for Integrated Netfinity Server for AS/400 increase
Support for a larger system drive for the Integrated Netfinity Server for AS/400 is included
in V4R4. The system drive can be increased from 2 to 8 GB.
