Server Automation
Server Automation provides powerful automation. You can use it to sequence automation actions in steps across multiple endpoints.
Virtualization
Virtualization is a software technology that allows multiple operating systems to run on the same host computer at the same time. Additional uses of virtualization include the quick creation of new systems for testing, training, and demonstration. Using virtualized computers saves the cost of hardware, management, and administration of the server infrastructure.
PowerVM®
You can deploy and configure a management extender plug-in for PowerVM®. You can then manage PowerVM logical partitions (LPARs) from within the IBM® Endpoint Management console.
State Management Tasks
Use these tasks to activate and deactivate individual or groups of LPARs. You can also netboot an LPAR.
Deactivating multiple LPARs
Using the PowerVM Deactivate Multiple Logical Partitions (LPARS) task, you can deactivate multiple LPARs from within the IBM® Endpoint Manager console.
