When the suspend or resume operation has failed, the logical partition might be in an
invalid state. You can then recover a suspended logical partition by using the Hardware Management Console (HMC).
The Suspend/Resume feature for logical partitions is supported on POWER8® processor-based servers when the firmware is at level FW840,
or later.
To recover a suspended logical partition by using the HMC, follow these steps:
- In the navigation pane, open General and
click Partition Properties.
- Select the logical partition in the work pane.
- From the Tasks menu, click .
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 view the logical partitions:
- In the navigation pane, click the Resources icon .
- 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.
- Select the logical partition and click .
- Click OK.
The recovery process performs the cleanup operation and moves
the logical partition into a valid state.
