To set up a logical partition (LPAR) environment with Cluster Server (VCS):

Install VCS.
Configure VCS.
No additional VCS configuration is required to make it work inside the LPAR with or without VIOS.
For installation and configuration information:

Cluster Server Configuration and Upgrade Guide

See Additional documentation for AIX virtualization.

The steps above apply for the following configurations:

VCS in the LPAR
VCS in the management LPAR

Note:

You must use VCS 6.0 or later in the management LPAR
VCS in the management LPAR with redundant HMCs
VCS in the management LPAR with multiple VIOS
VCS in the management LPAR in the LPAR
VCS in a cluster across LPARs
