Rebuild

You can extract the configuration information from the managed system and rebuild the information on the Hardware Management Console (HMC).

This task does not disrupt the operation of the running server.

Rebuilding the managed system updates the information on the HMC about the managed system. Rebuilding the managed system is useful when the state of the managed system is Incomplete. The Incomplete state means that the HMC cannot gather complete information from the managed system about logical partitions, profiles, or resources.

Rebuilding the managed system is different from refreshing the HMC window. When the managed system is rebuilt, the HMC extracts the information from the managed system. You cannot start other tasks while the HMC rebuilds the managed system. This process can take several minutes.
