| -r ResourceType |
The type of resources to change: - sys
- Managed system resources
- lpar
- Logical partition resources
- prof
- Logical partition profile resources
|
| -m ManagedSystem |
The name of the managed system. This attribute
is optional because there is only one system to manage. The name may
either be the user-defined name for the managed system, or be in the
form tttt-mmm*ssssssss, where tttt is the machine type, mmm is the
model, and ssssssss is the serial number of the managed system. |
| -f ConfigurationFile |
The name of the file containing the configuration
data needed to change the resources. The configuration data consists
of attribute name and value pairs, which are in comma separated value
(CSV) format. These attribute name and value pairs form a configuration
record. A line feed marks the end of a configuration record. The
file must contain one configuration record for each resource to be
changed, and each configuration record must be for the same
resource type. If the resource type is the managed system, then the
file must contain only one configuration record. The format of
a configuration record is as follows:
attribute-name=value,attribute-name=value,...<LF>
Note
that certain attributes accept a comma separated list of values, as
follows:
"attribute-name=value,value,...",...<LF>
When
a list of values is specified, the attribute name/value pair must
be enclosed in double quotation marks. Depending on the shell being
used, nested double quotation marks may need to be preceded by an
escape character, which is usually a \ (back slash) character.
If
'+=' is used in the attribute name/value pair instead of '=', then
the specified value is added to the existing value for the attribute
if the attribute is numerical. If the attribute is a list, then the
specified values are added to the existing list.
If '-='
is used in the attribute name/value pair instead of '=', then the
specified value is subtracted from the existing value for the
attribute if the attribute is numerical. If the attribute is
a list, then the specified values are deleted from the existing list.

- none
- lpar_avail_priority
- The priority of the logical partition to maintain its entitled
processors. If a processor failure occurs, processing resources will
be removed first from the lowest priority logical partition. Valid

the proc_mode attribute on the logical partition must be shared, and
a memory pool must exist. Note: The Virtual I/O Server logical partition
only supports the dedicated memory mode.
- mem_weight
- The shared memory weight of the shared memory partition. The
memory weight is used to determine the priority of logical partitions
in a memory pool for distributing memory. Valid values are 0 - 255.
The default value is 128.
- name | lpar_name | lpar_id
- Name or ID of the logical partition to change (required)
Note: This
command uses the profile name and lpar_name interchangeably because
this environment does not support multiple profiles per logical partition.
When using this command on the Hardware Management Console, you must specify
the profile name and logical partition name or ID because it supports
multiple profiles per logical partition.
|
| |
- new_name
- New name for the logical partition.
- paging_device
- The paging space device to use if a memory pool is used. A paging
space device is a block storage device that has been added to the
memory pool and is not designated as a paging device for any other
logical partition. This attribute is optional. If omitted, an appropriate
paging device is selected automatically. If the paging_device value
is a blank string and a paging space device is currently assigned
to this partition, the paging space device is removed from the logical
partition.
- proc_mode

- A weighted average of processing priority when in uncapped sharing
mode. The smaller the value, the lower the weight. Valid values are:
0 - 255
- virtual_eth_adapters
- Comma-separated list of virtual Ethernet adapters, with each adapter
having the following format: slot_number/is_ieee/port_vlan_id/additional_vlan_ids/is_trunk/is_required All
5 '/' characters must be present, but optional values may be omitted.
Optional values are is_ieee, additional_vlan_ids, is_required and is_trunk.
Valid
values for is_ieee, is_trunk, and is_required" 0 - no
1 - yes
For example, 4/0/2//0/0 specifies
a virtual Ethernet adapter with a virtual slot number of 4, is not
IEEE 802.1Q enabled, has a port virtual LAN ID of 2, no additional
virtual LAN IDs, it is not a trunk adapter, and is not required.

- virtual_fc_adapters
- Comma-separated list of virtual fibre channel adapters. Each
item in this list has the following format:
virtual slot num/adapter_type/remote_lpar_id/
remote_lpar_name/remote_slot_num/wwpn_list/is_required
Required
values: remote_lpar_id, remote_lpar_name, adapter_type,
virtual_slot_num Note: You can specify either remote_lpar_id, remote_lpar_name,
or use them both, but at least one of the values is required.
Valid
values for adapter_type:
Note: If you specify a value for adapter type, the Integrated
Virtualization Manager (IVM) requires the adapter type to be a client.
Optional
values: wwpn_list, is_required, remote_slot_num
When
you add a virtual fibre channel adapter, wwpn_list can
be left blank to allow IVM to automatically assign worldwide port
names to the client adapter. If you leave wwpn_list blank
and the virtual slot number specified for this adapter already contains
a virtual fibre channel adapter, IVM will use the worldwide port names
that are already assigned. New worldwide port names will only be
generated if it is a new adapter. If you specify a wwpn_list value,
there must be exactly two values. Each worldwide port name must be
a 16-character hexadecimal value. These values are not case sensitive.
Valid
values for is_required: 0 - no
1 - yes
A value of none or an empty string
indicates that no virtual fibre channel adapters should be assigned. Note: If
the logical partition being changed is the Virtual I/O Server, you
cannot change the current configuration. The IVM handles the client
and server adapter as a pair; thus, IVM handles modifications automatically.

- virtual_scsi_adapters
- Comma-separated list of virtual SCSI adapters. Each item in this
list has the format:
slot_num/adapter_type/remote_lpar_id/remote_lpar_name/
remote_slot_num/is_required
The attribute names are not
present in the list, just their values are present. If an attribute
is optional and is not to be included, then no value is specified
for that attribute. For example, 2/client//lpar2/3/0 specifies
a virtual client SCSI adapter with a virtual slot number of 2,
a server partition name of lpar2, a server slot number
of 3, and is not required. The server partition ID
was omitted. Required values: slot_num, adapter_type,
remote_lpar_id, remote_lpar_name Note: You can specify remote_lpar_id, remote_lpar_name,
or both, but at least one of the values is required.
Optional
values: is_required, remote_slot_num
Note: IVM
requires that virtual slot number 2 always contain
a virtual SCSI adapter, so if you specify adapters in any other slots,
the default adapter is still created in slot number 2.
If you use the chsyscfg command with an empty list for the virtual_scsi_adapters attribute,
all virtual SCSI adapters are removed, except the default adapter.
Valid
values for adapter_type: - client: client adapter
- server: server adapter, valid for Virtual I/O Server logical partitions
only
Valid values for is_required:
|

Attribute names for the managed system - lpar_comm_default
- Returns the lpar_comm_ipaddr to using the default IP address configured
on the system as reported by lstcpip -interfaces. Valid values:
- 1: Default IP address will be used.
- lpar_comm_ipaddr
- The IP address through which client logical partitions will communicate
with the management logical partition. This is used primarily for
dynamic LPAR. It is defaulted to the first IP address available on
your system, but can be manually set if desired. If you set this manually
and then change your systems IP address, you must update this value.
Note: This attribute supports multiple IP addresses
using a comma-separated list.
- new_name
- New name for the managed system
- pend_configured_max_lpars
- The maximum number of logical partitions which can be created
after restarting the managed system.
This option is deprecated.
Instead use: chsyscfg -r prof
with attribute
"max_virtual_slots" value for partition 1.
|
| -i ConfigurationData |
This option allows you to enter configuration
data on the command line, instead of using a file. Data entered on
the command line must follow the same format as data in a file, and
must be enclosed in double quotation marks. When this option
is used, only a single resource can be changed.
The -i and
the -f options are mutually exclusive.
