Managing partitions by using the Integrated Virtualization Manager
You can use the logical partition management tasks of the Integrated Virtualization Manager to create and manage
the logical partitions on your managed system.
Activating logical partitions
You can use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to
activate logical partitions on the managed system.
Adding a client logical partition to the partition workload group
You can use a workload management tool to manage resources
that your logical partitions use. To do so, you must use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to add the client
logical partition to the partition workload group.
Deleting logical partitions
You can use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to
delete logical partitions from the managed system.
Dynamically managing memory
You can use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to
change the amount of memory that a running logical partition uses.
Dynamically managing physical adapters
You can use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to
change the physical adapters that a running logical partition uses.
Dynamically managing processing power
You can use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to
change the processing power assigned to a running logical partition.
Modifying partition properties
You can use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to
view and modify the properties of the logical partitions on your managed
system.
Shutting down logical partitions
You can use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to shut down the logical partitions or to shut down the entire managed system.
Using the operator panel service functions
You can use the operator panel service functions in the Integrated Virtualization Manager to perform a number
of service and maintenance tasks. These tasks include shutting down,
restarting, or initiating a system memory dump on logical partitions.
These functions are also known as control panel functions.
Viewing or modifying the status of a migrating partition
You can use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to
view the status, to stop, or to recover the migration of a logical
partition, whether the partition is migrating to this managed system
or to another managed system.
Viewing partition reference codes
You can use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to
display reference codes for the logical partitions on your managed
system.
Reference codes provide general system diagnostic, troubleshooting,
and debugging
information.
