Naming Limitations of IBM Logical Partitions

Symptom:

When I specify the name of a logical partition, CA Virtual Assurance does not support it.

Solution:

The name of an LPAR provided to the IBM Create LPAR request is case-sensitive. This product however does not support management of two logical partitions in the same PowerVM server where the name differs only by case. For example, the following LPAR names are not supported in PowerServer1:

LPAR1 and lpar1

LPAR names must not contain the `/` character, because it is used as a separator of entities in object instances of monitors. A `/` character produces ambiguous monitor object instances. For example, an LPAR name ‘lpar/blue’ is not supported.
