3.3.4.2.2 Logical Partition Edition
A logical partition is represented by a host linked to the VIOS Virtualization platform. It has
properties linked to the platform and properties of a host object.
Add, remove or modification of properties linked to the platform must be done from the
VIOS Virtualization platform edition page.
Modification of host properties must be done from the Host edition page.
Add a logical partition to a platform
Adding a logical partition is performed by checking the corresponding line in the Logical
Partitions part of the platform edition form and setting the host characteristics in the
NSMaster Configuration table zone (by filling in the corresponding fields or by selecting an
already defined host).
Note:
When you edit a VIOS Virtualization platform, only the Logical Partitions defined as part of
the NovaScale Master platform are displayed. To add partitions, you must performs a Re-
discovery to get the list of all machines defined on the VIO server.
Remove a logical partition from a platform
Removing a logical partition is performed by unchecking the corresponding line in the
Logical Partitions part of the platform.
Note:
The corresponding host remains in the NovaScale Master definition with model set to
‘other’. To delete it, click the 'Other Hosts' link to get the list of all Other Hosts configured,
edit the corresponding host and click the Delete button.
Modify a logical partition defined in a platform
To modify the name of the NSMaster host corresponding to a logical partition, enter the
new name in the corresponding field or choose it in the list of already defined hosts in
NovaScale Master by clicking the Select button.
To modify other characteristics as netName or OS, you must use the Host edition form.
