POWER7 information

Properties

Displays the selected managed system's properties. This information is useful in system and partition planning and resource allocation.

These properties include the following tabs:
General
The General tab displays the system's name, serial number, model and type, state, attention led state, service processor version, maximum number of partitions, assigned service partition (if designated), and power off policy information.
Processor
The Processor tab displays information about the managed system's processors including installed processing units, deconfigured processing units, available processing units, configurable processing units, minimum number of processing units per virtual processor and maximum number of shared processor pools.
Memory
The Memory tab displays information about the managed system's memory including installed memory, deconfigured memory, available memory, configurable memory, memory region size, current memory available for partition usage, and system firmware current memory. The tab also describes the maximum number of memory pools.
I/O
The I/O tab displays the physical I/O resources for the managed system. The assignment of I/O slots and partition, the adaptor-type, and the slot LP limit information are displayed. The physical I/O resources information is grouped by units.
  • The Slot column displays the physical I/O properties of each resource.
  • The I/O Pool column displays all of the I/O pools found in the system and the partitions that are participating in the pools.
  • The Owner column displays who currently owns the physical I/O. The value of this column can be any of the following values:
    • When an single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) adapter is in the shared mode, Hypervisor is displayed in this column.
    • When an SR-IOV adapter is in the dedicated mode, Unassigned is displayed when the adapter is not assigned to any partition as a dedicated physical I/O.
    • When an SR-IOV adapter is in the dedicated mode, the logical partition name is displayed when the adapter is assigned to any logical partition as a dedicated physical I/O.
  • The Slot LP Limit column displays the number of logical ports supported by slot or adapter in SR-IOV shared mode.
Migration
If your managed system is partition-migration capable, the Migration tab displays partition migration information.
Power-On Parameters
The Power-On Parameters tab allows you to change the power-on parameters for the next restart by changing the values in the Next fields. These changes will only be valid for the next managed system restart.
Capabilities
The Capabilities tab displays the runtime capabilities of this server. You can verify that the server supports Virtual Trusted Platform Module (VTPM), Virtual Server Network (VSN), Dynamic Platform Optimization (DPO), and SR-IOV capable.
Advanced
The Advanced tab displays huge page memory capabilities on the managed system, including available huge page memory, configurable huge page memory, current page size, and current maximum huge page memory. To change memory allocation on systems with huge page table support, set the Requested huge page memory (in pages) field to the desired memory. To change the requested value for huge page memory, the system must be powered off.

The Barrier Synchronization Register (BSR) option displays array information.

The Processor Performance option displays the TurboCore mode and the System Partition Processor Limit (SPPL). You can set the next TurboCore mode and the next SPPL value. The SPPL applies to both dedicated processor partitions and shared processor partitions.

The Memory Mirroring option displays the current mirroring mode and the current system firmware mirroring status. You can set the next mirroring mode. You can also launch the memory optimization tool.

You can view the VTPM settings.
