Managing the resources of a shutdown logical partition

You can use the Hardware Management Console (HMC) command-line interface to manage the resources of a shutdown logical partition.

You can use the chhwres command to remove memory, processor, and I/O resources from a shutdown logical partition.

You can change other attributes of a shutdown logical partition by changing the logical partition profile and applying the changed profile to the logical partition. Complete the following steps from the HMC command line:

To change the profile of a shutdown logical partition, run the following command:
```
chsyscfg -r prof -m managed system -i attributes
```
Note: If the profile being changed is the last activated profile, you must use the --force option if synchronization of the current configuration to the profile is enabled for the logical partition.
To apply the changed profile to the shutdown logical partition, run the following command:
```
chsyscfg -r lpar -m managed system -o apply -n profile name
```
