Adding the mobile partition to a partition workload group

On POWER9 or later processor-based servers, you can add the mobile partition to a partition workload group by using the Hardware Management Console (HMC) Version 10.2.1030, or later after you migrate the mobile partition from the source server to the destination server.

Before you begin

You must be a super administrator to complete this task.

A partition workload group identifies a set of logical partitions that are located on the same physical system. Workload management tools use partition workload groups to identify which logical partitions they can manage.

Prior to migrating the mobile partition from the source environment to the destination environment, you might have removed the mobile partition from a partition workload group. Now that you have successfully migrated the mobile partition to the destination environment, you can add it to a partition workload group.

To add the mobile partition to a partition workload group using the HMC, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, click System resources.
  2. Click Partitions. Alternatively, click Systems. In the work pane, click the server name that has the logical partition. Click Partitions. The All Partitions page is displayed.
  3. In the work pane, select the logical partition and click Profiles > Manage Profiles.
  4. Select the profile of your choice and select Actions > Edit.
  5. Click the Settings tab.
  6. In the Workload Management area, select (None) and click OK.
  7. Repeat steps 3 through 6 for all partition profiles associated with the mobile partition. In order for this change to take effect, you will need to activate this logical partition with this profile.

What to do next

This can also be changed using DLPAR by selecting the logical partition Properties > Other tab.
