<para>PowerVM compute driver connects to an Integrated Virtualization
Manager (IVM) to perform PowerVM Logical Partition (LPAR)
deployment and management. The driver supports file-based deployment
using images from Glance.</para>

<title>Configuration</title>
<para>To enable the PowerVM compute driver, add the following configuration
options <filename>/etc/nova/nova.conf</filename>:
<programlisting language="ini">compute_driver=nova.virt.powervm.PowerVMDriver
powervm_mgr_type=ivm
powervm_mgr=powervm_hostname_or_ip_address
powervm_mgr_user=padmin

<section xml:id="powervm-limits">
<title>Limitations</title>
<para>
PowerVM LPARs names have a limit of 31 characters. Since Nova instance names
are mapped to LPAR names in Power Systems, make sure instance_name_template
config option in nova.conf yields names that have 31 or fewer characters.
