Activating logical partitions

You can use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to activate logical partitions on the managed system.

Use any role other than View Only to perform this task.

You can activate logical partitions manually after you power on the managed system, or you can reactivate a logical partition after you have shut down the logical partition manually.

To activate a logical partition, complete the following steps in the Integrated Virtualization Manager:

  1. From the navigation area, select View/Modify Partitions under Partition Management. The View/Modify Partitions page is displayed.
  2. Select the logical partition that you want to activate. You can select more than one logical partition for this task.
  3. Click Activate. The Activate Partitions page is displayed. Verify the partition ID, partition name, and the current state of the logical partition.
  4. Click OK to activate the partition. The View/Modify Partitions page is displayed and the logical partition state has a value of running.
    Note: Each logical partition activates with the boot mode and keylock position that are specified for the logical partition on the Partition Properties page.
