Verifying that the logical partition can be suspended

Before planning to suspend a logical partition, verify that the logical partition can be suspended by using the Hardware Management Console (HMC).

1. In the navigation pane, open General and click Partition Properties.
2. Select the logical partition in the work pane.
3. From the Tasks menu, click Properties.
   • If the Allow this partition to be suspended check box is selected, the logical partition can be suspended.
   • If the Allow this partition to be suspended check box is not selected, the logical partition cannot be suspended.

   The HMC Classic interface is not supported in Hardware Management Console (HMC) Version 8.7.0, or later. The functions that were previously available in the HMC Classic interface are now available in the HMC Enhanced+ interface.

   When the HMC is at version 8.7.0, or later, complete the following steps to verify that the logical partition can be suspended:

   1. In the navigation pane, click the Resources icon .
   2. Click All Partitions. Alternatively, click All Systems. In the work pane, click the server name that has the logical partition. Click View System Partitions. The All Partitions page is displayed.
   3. In the work pane, select the logical partition and click Actions > View Partition Properties.
   4. Click the General Properties tab.
      • If the Suspend/Resume check box is selected, the logical partition can be suspended.
      • If the Suspend/Resume check box is not selected, the logical partition cannot be suspended.
4. Click OK.
