Setting the inactive profile policy

You can set the inactive profile policy for migrating an inactive partition by using the Hardware Management Console (HMC) command-line interface.

1. To specify the inactive profile policy for a single partition migrating operation, enter the following command:

   migrlpar -o v -m <srcCecName> -t <srcCecName> -p <lparName> -i
   "inactive_prof_policy=< prof|config>" 

   inactive_prof_policy is the inactive profile policy that you can specify. The following values can be used for this parameter:
   • prof to use the configuration data from the last activated profile.
   • config to use the configuration data that is defined in the hypervisor of the source server.
2. To specify the inactive profile policy for multiple partition migration operations, enter the following command:

   migrlpar -o v -m <srcCecName> -t <srcCecName> -p <lparName> -i
   "inactive_prof_policy | multiple_inactive_prof_policies =< prof|config>" 

   inactive_prof_policy is the inactive profile policy that you can specify for all the inactive partition migration operations in the list. The following values can be used for this parameter:
   • prof to use the configuration data from the last activated profile.
   • config to use the configuration data that is defined in the hypervisor of the source server.
   multiple_inactive_prof_policies is the inactive profile policy that you can specify at the partition level. The value of the multiple_inactive_prof_policies parameter must have the following format:

   <lparName_1>/<lparId_1>/<inactiveProfPolicy_1>, …...,<lparName_n>/<lparId_n>/<inactiveProfPolicy_n>

   The inactive_prof_policy and multiple_inactive_prof_policies parameters are mutually exclusive.
