Disabling the mobile partition for redundant error-path reporting

You can disable the mobile partition for redundant error-path reporting by using the Hardware Management Console (HMC) so that you can migrate the mobile partition from the source server to the destination server.

You must be a super administrator to complete this task.

If you enable redundant error-path reporting, the logical partition reports common server hardware errors and partition hardware errors to the HMC. If you disable redundant error-path reporting, the logical partition reports only partition hardware errors to the HMC. If you want to migrate a logical partition, disable the redundant error-path reporting.

To disable the mobile partition for redundant error-path reporting using the HMC, complete the following steps:

  1. In the navigation pane, open Systems Management and select Servers.
  2. Select the managed server of your choice in the navigation pane.
  3. In the work pane, select the logical partition of your choice.
  4. Select Configuration > Manage Profiles.

    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 Manage Profiles page:
    1. In the navigation pane, click the Resources icon The icon represents the Resources function of the HMC.
    2. 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.
    3. In the work pane, select the logical partition and click Actions > Profiles > Manage Profiles.
  5. Select the profile of your choice and select Actions > Edit.
  6. Click the Settings tab.
  7. Deselect Enable redundant error path reporting and click OK. For this change to take effect, activate this logical partition with this profile.
