Dynamic Partitioning

Dynamic Partitioning (DLPAR) tasks allow you to dynamically add or remove processors, memory, and adapters to and from logical partitions.

Note: These tasks are available on the Hardware Management Console (HMC) by using the HMC Classic graphical user interface (GUI).

Processor
Add or remove processor resources from a logical partition or to move processor resources from one logical partition to another.
Memory
Add or remove memory resources from a logical partition or to move memory resources from one logical partition to another.
Physical Adapters
Add I/O slots to a logical partition without restarting the partition or to move or remove I/O slots from a logical partition without restarting the partition.
Virtual Adapter
This task displays a list of all of the virtual adapters that currently exist for this logical partition or partition profile.
SR-IOV Logical Ports
Use the SR-IOV Logical Ports task to add a single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) logical port to a running logical partition. You can also use the SR-IOV Logical Ports task to modify or remove an SR-IOV logical port that is assigned to a running or a shutdown logical partition.
Host Ethernet
Use Host Ethernet tasks to add Logical Host Ethernet Adapter (LHEA) logical ports dynamically to a running logical partition.
