5.2.8 Interactive (5250 OLTP) capacity
Depending the particular system model, assigning interactive capacity for the partition profile
may or may not be required. Zero interactive and enterprise edition systems do not require
the interactive feature to be assigned to the profile.
The 5250 OLTP screen will not display on models other than the i520.
5.2.9 Allocate physical I/O resources
The next step in the creation of a partition profile is the allocation of physical IO resources to
the partition profile (Figure 5-15).
Information about a particular resource can be obtained by selecting the resource and
clicking the Property button.
Resources can be added to the partition profile as either required or desired. A required
resource is needed for the partition to start when the profile is activated. The load source disk
unit is an example of a required resource. Desired resources are assigned to the partition if
they are available when the profile is activated. The absence of a desired resource does not
prevent the partition profile from activating. A tape unit or optical device might be considered
a desired resource.
Multiple items can be selected while holding down the control key and left clicking the items to
be selected. Each additional item may need to be selected twice for it to become highlighted.
A range of resources can be selected while holding down the shift key and then selecting the
first and last item in the range.
