Restarting a system with logical partitions

If the partitions were created by IVM or HMC, you can restart a partition without affecting the other partitions. If the partition is powered on, you can restart it using PWRDWNSYS OPTION *CNTRLD DELAY (600) RESTART (*YES). You can use this command from a command line at one of its workstations or use the Run Command in IBM® Navigator for i.

If the partitions were created by Virtual Partition Manager, you can restart a client partition without affecting the other client partitions. But if you are going to restart the hosting partition, you need first power down all of the client partitions.

If the partitions were created by Virtual Partition Manager, you could power on a partition by using IBM Navigator for i. To power on client partition by IBM Navigator for i, follow these steps:

1. In IBM Navigator for i of hosting partition, expend Configuration and Services.
2. Select Partitions.
3. Right click the partition you want to power on and select Power On.
