Relocating an adapter for DLPAR

You must configure the graphic adapter before relocating an adapter for dynamic logical partitioning (DLPAR) operations.

1. Ensure that no current processes (Desktop, and Xserver) are using the graphics adapter (for example, /dev/lft0).
2. Verify that the console is not set to the lft0. To identify the defined or available dependent interfaces (lft or rcm), enter the following command:

   lsdev -C | grep lft
   lsdev -C | grep rcm

   To obtain a parent Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) adapter after the graphics adapter is defined, enter the following command:

   odmget -q name=<cortina adapter name. for instance cor0> CuDv

   This command provides information about the parent and cortina.
3. To remove all dependent interfaces to make the adapter ready for DLPAR operation, enter the following command:

   # pdisable lft0
   
   # rmdev -l rcm0
   rcm0 Defined
   
   # rmdev -l lft0
   lft0 Defined
   
   # rmdev -Rdl pci23
   cor0 deleted
   pci23 deleted
