IBM Power 595 Technical Overview and Introduction
The SPT and its supporting documentation can be found on the IBM System Planning Tool
site at:
http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/tools/systemplanningtool/
Note: In previous releases of the SPT, you could view an HMC system plan, but not edit it.
The SPT now allows you to convert an HMC system plan to a format you can edit in the
SPT.
Also note that SPT 2.0 is the last release to support .lvt and .xml files. You should load your
old .lvt and .xml plans, and then save them as .sysplan files.
Note: Consider using #0456 on new orders to specify adapter card placement within the
system unit and I/O enclosures to expedite getting your LPAR configuration up and running
after your system is delivered. This is where the SPT configuration file (for the order) and
system plan file (for deployment) can be most used.
