DLPAR capable with IVM – checks to do

Leave a comment

By MichaelFelt

I cannot find the post with the comment that DLPAR capability was not working with IVM.

The two commands that need to be run are (as root, padmin does not know this command):
VIOS:
lsrsrc IBM.MngNode
CLIENTS:
lsrsrc IBM.MCP

Examples:

Code:
# lsrsrc IBM.MngNode
Resource Persistent Attributes for IBM.MngNode
resource 1:
Name = "192.168.129.102"
NodeID = 14773711625430560719
KeyToken = "192.168.129.102"
Aliases = {}
IPAddresses = {"192.168.129.102"}
HWType = "020123A4B"
HWModel = "9110-51A"
HWSerialNum = "0123A4B"
LParID = "2"
StorageFacilityImageID = ""
ActivePeerDomain = ""
NodeNameList = {"x101"}
resource 2:
Name = "192.168.129.107"
NodeID = 14592256202647740844
KeyToken = "192.168.129.107"
Aliases = {}

I had previously asked a question in this thread

and was answered:

You can use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to change the physical adapters that a running logical partition uses.

ensure that the Integrated Virtualization Manager is at version 1.5 or later.

HTH

I checked the above link and checked my POWERVM IVM

For the IVM VIOS Partition
Dynamic Logical Partitioning (DLPAR)

Partition hostname or IP address: xx.xx.xx.xx
Partition communication state: Active
Memory DLPAR capable: Yes
Processing DLPAR capable: Yes
I/O adapter DLPAR capable: Yes

For all other Client Partitions, which are switched on and off
Partition hostname or IP address:
Partition communication state: Not Configured
Memory DLPAR capable: No
Processing DLPAR capable: No
I/O adapter DLPAR capable: No

Question #1 : How can I enable the client partitions to be I/O adapter DLPAR capable: YES ?

Now, my system plan on IVM VIOS shows regarding the Fibre Adapter

Code:
Cards
Backplane Slot Bus Device Feature or CCIN Device Description Device Serial # Order Status Used by Partition / Profile
P1 C1 3 Fibre Channel Serial Bus 1F8030C37B Own vios / vios

Code:
# lsdev -Cc adapter | grep fcs0
fcs0 Available 0A-08 FC Adapter

# lscfg -vl fcs0
fcs0 U787B.001.DNW3313-P1-C1-T1 FC Adapter
