Re: Model 570 ( add disk and delete Lpar )

["Larry Bolhuis" <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings!

  First shutdown the partition you wish to remove.
  Next use DLPAR to add the RAID IOA (and IOP if required) to the 
partition that is getting the disk.
  Next use Service tools or System i Access to add AND BALANCE the disk to 
the partition. If they were RAID protected already on the old partition 
they will still be RAID protected on the new partition. 

  Now you have more disk.... and a landmine!!  You MUST remember to Either 
update the profile for the partition to include the new hardware as 
required OR save a copy of the current partition configuration and set 
that profile as the default profile. If you fail to do both of these the 
nex time you cold start the partition it will be missing a bunch of 
disk....

   Also for cleanup purposes delete the old partition and it's profiles so 
you don't attempt to start it again.

     - Larry

Model 570 ( add disk and delete Lpar )






I need to delete an Lpar and allocate its resources ( disk) to another 
Lpar
?

 

What would be the process to delete an Lpar ..is it basically shut it down
and on HMC Console ..Right Click on Lpar and delete it  or is it a some
other process 

 

Secondly the Disks which are on a raid controller of the Lpar which is
deleted need to be assigned to a new Lpar ..Do I need to shutdown the new
Lpar to add disk or can it be added  via SST while the new lpar is 
running.
