Troubleshooting
Problem
When unable to enter a Licensed Key with an IBM i partition managed by VIOS due to exceeding processor usage, use the following commands to change the VIOS partition from shared processors to dedicated processors.
Resolving The Problem
To change VIOS partition that is IVM managed from shared processors to dedicated processors, use the following command from the VIOS command line:
chsyscfg -r prof -i lpar_id=1,proc_mode=ded,min_procs=1,desired_procs=1,max_procs=1,sharing_mode=keep_idle_procs
This command assumes one full processor for the VIOS partition. If a different number of processors is being used, change that parameter within the command accordingly.
After this command has been entered, shut down the system and activate the VIOS partition. The command will not take effect until the VIOS partition has been reactivated.
If the system is HMC or SDMC managed, this can be changed in the partition profile.
chsyscfg -r prof -i lpar_id=1,proc_mode=ded,min_procs=1,desired_procs=1,max_procs=1,sharing_mode=keep_idle_procs
This command assumes one full processor for the VIOS partition. If a different number of processors is being used, change that parameter within the command accordingly.
After this command has been entered, shut down the system and activate the VIOS partition. The command will not take effect until the VIOS partition has been reactivated.
If the system is HMC or SDMC managed, this can be changed in the partition profile.
