Request param	Description
bootmode	The boot mode to use when activating an AIX, Linux, or Virtual I/O Server partition. Valid values are: norm normal dd diagnostic with default boot list ds diagnostic with stored boot list of Open Firmware OK prompt sms System Management Services.
novsi	When activating a partition that uses virtual Ethernet adapter Virtual Station Interface (VSI) profiles, use this option to allow the partition to be activated without VSI profiles. Note that when this option is specified, the partition will still be activated with VSI profiles if possible.
force	This option allows you to shut down a Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) partition which is the only VIOS partition providing access to the paging device or reserved storage device for one or more partitions. This option also allows you to activate a shared memory partition under any of the following conditions: The partition is configured to use redundant paging VIOS partitions, but only one paging VIOS partition is currently available and that paging VIOS partition has access to an available paging space device in the shared memory pool. The partition is configured to use redundant paging VIOS partitions, but there is no available paging space device in the shared memory pool that can be accessed by both paging VIOS partitions. However, there is an available paging space device in the shared memory pool that can be accessed by one of the paging VIOS partitions. The partition is configured to use a single paging VIOS partition which is not currently available or does not have access to an available paging space device in the shared memory pool, but there is another paging VIOS partition in the shared memory pool that is available and that has access to an available paging space device in the shared memory pool.
keylock	The keylock position to set. Valid values are manual and normal. This option is required when setting the keylock position for a partition or a managed system. This option is optional when powering on a managed system or activating a partition.
LogicalPartitionProfile	The name of the profile against which the partition will be powered on
