Description
Deletion by a combination of
1. CLP (cell local processor) (-d cell:
cell_ID :cpu:: number ) and then
2. CPU count (-d cpu::
number )
in the same command line (for example, # vparmodify -p keira2 -d
cell:1:cpu::3 -d cpu::4) may cause a failure occasionally due to a
pending CPU migration.
Symptoms
If you attempt to delete CPUs using a combination of CLP and then total
CPU count in a single command invocation, the operation may cause a
failure, displaying an error message similar to the following:
vparmodify: Error: "-d 3.120": A conflicting CPU migration is
in progress on this vPar.
This problem occurs only when the target partition is the local partition.
NOTE: The error message only affects the deletion by total CPU count; the
deletion by CLP will be in progress and completed.
Workaround
The desired number of processors can be deleted by using either of the
following workarounds:
• Use only the total CPU count syntax (-d cpu::
number ).
