480 Logical Partitions on System i5
Command attributes are discussed in “HMC CLI command attributes” on page 494.
Activating a partition
Use the chsysstate command to activate a partition. Type the following command:
chsysstate -r lpar -m <managed system> -o on -n <partition name> -f <partition profile
name>
Using a soft partition reset
Use the chsysstate command to perform a soft reset of a partition. Type the following
command:
chsysstate -r lpar -m <managed system> -o reset -n <partition name>
Using a hard partition reset
Use the chsysstate command to perform a hard reset of a partition. Type the following
command:
chsysstate -r lpar -m <managed system> -o off --id<partition ID>
Deleting an LPAR
Use the rmsyscfg command to remove a partition. Type the following command:
rmsyscfg -r lpar -m <managed system> -n <partition name>
This command removes the specified partition and all of its associated partition profiles from
the specified managed system. The partition’s profiles are also removed from any system
profiles that contain them.
Dynamic LPAR (DLPAR) operations
Use the chhwres command to perform dynamic logical partitioning (DLPAR) operations on
running partitions. DLPAR operations can be performed for memory, physical I/O slots, and
processor resources.
Memory
Memory can be dynamically added to a partition, removed from a partition, or moved from
one partition to another. In the following commands, the quantity of memory to be added,
Note: Instead of entering configuration information on the command line with the -i flag,
the information can instead be placed in a file, and the filename specified with the -f flag.
Note: The partition ID can be specified instead of the partition name by using the --id
parameter instead of the -n parameter.
Note: The partition ID can be specified instead of the partition name by using the --id
parameter instead of the -n parameter.
Note: The partition name can be specified instead of the partition ID by using the -n
parameter instead of the --id parameter.
Note: The partition ID can be specified instead of the partition name by using the --id
parameter instead of the -n parameter.
