Enabling the synchronization of the current configuration capability

You can enable the synchronization of the current configuration capability on a logical partition by using the Hardware Management Console (HMC), after the logical partition is created.

Before you plan to enable the feature, ensure that the HMC is at Version 7 Release 7.8.0, is later.

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.

For information about enabling the synchronization of the current configuration capability on a logical partition after the logical partition is created and when the HMC is at version 8.7.0, or later, see Changing advanced partition settings.

To enable the synchronization of the current configuration capability on a logical partition after the logical partition is created by using the HMC, complete the following:

  1. In the navigation pane, open Systems Management > Servers, and click the system on which the logical partition is located.
  2. Select the logical partition in the work pane.
  3. From the Tasks menu, click Properties.
  4. From the Sync Current Configuration Capability list, select Sync turned ON. When this option is selected, the partition profile is always synchronized with the last activated partition profile.
  5. Click OK.
