Simple questions about LPARs
Hello,
I am looking into virtualizing AIX 7.1 on our p7 machine that already has AIX 7.1 installed on it. I have a few questions about them:
1) In order to gain LPAR functionality, do I need to purchase PowerVM software?
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?
3) Can I create LPARs on my current system without losing my current OS? Or will I have to reformat my disks before starting?
Thank you in advance!

dpkg-reconfigure
DPKG-RECONFIGURE(8) Debconf DPKG-RECONFIGURE(8)
NAME
dpkg-reconfigure - reconfigure an already installed package
SYNOPSIS
dpkg-reconfigure [options] packages
DESCRIPTION
dpkg-reconfigure reconfigures packages after they have already been installed. Pass it the names of a package or packages to reconfigure.
It will ask configuration questions, much like when the package was first installed.
If you just want to see the current configuration of a package, see debconf-show(1) instead.
OPTIONS
-ftype, --frontend=type
Select the frontend to use. The default frontend can be permanently changed by:
dpkg-reconfigure debconf
Note that if you normally have debconf set to use the noninteractive frontend, dpkg-reconfigure will use the dialog frontend instead,
so you actually get to reconfigure the package.
-pvalue, --priority=value
Specify the minimum priority of question that will be displayed. dpkg-reconfigure normally shows low priority questions no matter what
your default priority is. See debconf(7) for a list.
--default-priority
Use whatever the default priority of question is, instead of forcing the priority to low.
-u, --unseen-only
By default, all questions are shown, even if they have already been answered. If this parameter is set though, only questions that have
not yet been seen will be asked.
--force
Force dpkg-reconfigure to reconfigure a package even if the package is in an inconsistent or broken state. Use with caution.
--no-reload
Prevent dpkg-reconfigure from reloading templates. Use with caution; this will prevent dpkg-reconfigure from repairing broken templates
databases. However, it may be useful in constrained environments where rewriting the templates database is expensive.
-h, --help
Display usage help.
