1) In order to gain LPAR functionality, do I need to purchase PowerVM software?
Yes, PowerVM IVM. You will have to call IBM and give them the details , see my last post on POWERVM
Quote:
2) I read that LPARs are managed from locally attached graphical workstations called HMCs. Is HMC a physical device I need to connect to my system?
You can manage graphically through VIOS IVM POWERVM ( all three sames for the same product )
Don't waste your money on HMC. HMC will benefit you if you have many machines and would like to have one
1) console
2) management

3) Can I create LPARs on my current system without losing my current OS? Or will I have to reformat my disks before starting?
Let us assume you have 7 disks
you have O/S on Hdisk0
and Hdisk1 to Hdisk7 are free
you can use POWERVM IVM VIOS on hisk7
and create LPAR and importvg HDISK0
so the answer is NO you will not lose current OS

dpkg-preconfigure
DPKG-PRECONFIGURE(8) Debconf DPKG-PRECONFIGURE(8)
NAME
dpkg-preconfigure - let packages ask questions prior to their installation
SYNOPSIS
dpkg-preconfigure [options] package.deb
dpkg-preconfigure --apt
DESCRIPTION
dpkg-preconfigure lets packages ask questions before they are installed. It operates on a set of debian packages, and all packages that
use debconf will have their config script run so they can examine the system and ask questions.
OPTIONS
-ftype, --frontend=type
Select the frontend to use.
-pvalue, --priority=value
Set the lowest priority of questions you are interested in. Any questions with a priority below the selected priority will be ignored
and their default answers will be used.
--terse
Enables terse output mode. This affects only some frontends.
--apt
Run in apt mode. It will expect to read a set of package filenames from stdin, rather than getting them as parameters. Typically this
is used to make apt run dpkg-preconfigure on all packages before they are installed. To do this, add something like this to
/etc/apt/apt.conf:
// Pre-configure all packages before
// they are installed.
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {
"dpkg-preconfigure --apt --priority=low";
};
-h, --help
Display usage help.
