What to do next

When the Hardware Management Console (HMC) is at Version 9.1.0, or later, you can use the mksyscfg command to create a logical partition that supports the Physical Page Table (PPT) ratio. During Live Partition Mobility, the Physical Page Table (PPT) ratio is used to translate effective addresses to physical real addresses. PPT is the ratio of the physical memory of the partition and is used by the hypervisor for paging during Live Partition Mobility. To view the PPT ratio attribute of the logical partition, run the lshwres command.
