dpmlpar setresources Command--Update Processor Resources

The dpmlpar setresources command updates processors for IBM AIX LPARs.

This command has the following format:

dpmlpar setresources 
[-sc sc_url] 
-hmc name 
-managed_system managedsystemname 
-partition_name partitionname 
-type {dynamic|all|profile}
[-proc_mode {shared |dedicated}]
[-min_proc_units units]
-desired_proc_units units
[-max_proc_units units]
[-min_procs number]
-desired_procs number 
[-max_procs number]
[-share_mode {capped |uncapped} [-uncap_weight weight]]

-sc sc_url

(Optional) Defines the URL for the service controller host.

Example: https://hostname:port/...

hostname

Defines the fully qualified host where the service controller is installed.

Example: localhost.ca.com

port

Defines the listening port for the service controller server.

Example: 80

-hmc name

Specifies the Hardware Management Console (HMC) or Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM) that controls the managed systems where the logical partition resides.

-managed_system managedsystemname

Specifies the managed system on which the logical partition resides. The managed system must exist on the HMC/IVM.

-partition_name partitionname

Specifies the logical partition to which the resources are going to be applied. The partition must exist on the managed system.

-type {dynamic|all|profile}

Specifies whether the adjustment is temporary or permanent. Options include the following:

dynamic

Adjusts the current resources only and the adjusted values are lost when you shut down the partition.

all

Adjusts the current resources and the profile value. The adjusted values are saved for the partition.

profile

Adjusts the profile value.

-proc_mode {shared|dedicated}

(Optional) Specifies the type of processor mode for the partition. Options include the following:

shared

Shares processor resources with other partitions.

dedicated

Specifies that the partition has dedicated processor resources.

-min_proc_units units

(Optional) Defines the minimum number of processing units for this partition.

Limits: .01 increments

Note: This option can only be used with shared processors.

-desired_proc_units units

Defines the assigned number of processing units for this partition.

Limits: .01 increments

Note: This option can only be used with shared processors.

-max_proc_units units

(Optional) Defines the maximum number of processing units for this partition.

Limits: .01 increments

Note: This option can only be used with shared processors.

-min_procs number

(Optional) Defines the minimum number of virtual processors for this partition.

Note: This option can only be used with shared processors.

-desired_procs number

Defines the assigned number of virtual processors for this partition.

Note: This option can only be used with shared processors.

-max_procs number

(Optional) Defines the maximum number of virtual processors for this partition.

Note: This option can only be used with shared processors.

-shared_mode {capped|uncapped}

Specifies whether the managed system allows the logical partition to use idle processing units that are not committed to another partition from the shared processor pool.

Note: This option can only be used with shared processors.

Options include the following:

capped

Specifies that the partition can only use the number of processing units that are committed to it.

uncapped

Specifies that the partition can use idle processor units from the shared processor pool when they are available.

-uncap_weight weight

(Optional) Defines a weighted average of processing priority when you select uncapped sharing mode.

Limits: 0 - 255
