Instructor preparation
This document explains to the instructors management and the prospective instructor the
background skills that are required to effectively teach both the course and the prerequisite
courses. It also lists instructional documents and any other material that should be studied
before teaching the course. The prospective instructor must already possess all of the
delivery skills that are required to be an instructor.
This course covers a specific feature of PowerVM Enterprise Edition. If youve taught the
basic virtualization class (Power Systems for AIX - Virtualization I: Implementing
Virtualization AN30/AX30) then you have the skills to learn the PowerVM Live Partition
Mobility material. If you have not taught AN30, you should have strong Virtual I/O Server
skills for creating and managing virtual SCSI and virtual Fibre Channel devices, along with
general partition configuration skills.
To study for this material, review the instructor guide, read the references listed in the
References section of page 1 of each unit in the lecture materials, and watch the
recordings of the train-the-trainer (T3) course. Be sure to practice the exercises and
experiment with the lab environment.
For information about setting up the classroom, see the Lab Setup Guide for this course.

Course materials
The following materials are available for this course.
The instructor needs these materials:
Instructor Guide: The instructor notes will provide any clarification or extra information
needed to teach the visuals.
Instructor Exercises Guide: The instructor exercises guide contains important
information for the instructor, including a description of how to allocate students to
particular partitions when using the IRLP lab environment, and specific actions the
instructor must perform in certain situations. It also includes suggested timings.
Slide show
Lab Setup Guide
Each student needs these materials:
Student Notebook
Student Exercises Guide (There is a with hints version and a without hints version.)
