dpmlpar setresources Command--Subtract Memory Resources

The dpmlpar setresources command removes memory units for IBM AIX LPARs.

This command has the following format:

dpmlpar setresources 
[-sc sc_url] 
-subtract_memory value 
-hmc name 
-managed_system managedsystemname 
-partition_name partitionname 
-type {dynamic|all} 
[-pre] [-post]
[-ws_user username]
[-ws_password password]
[-prompt <no|yes>]
[-ws_remote_user username]
[-ws_remote_password password]
[-locale iso639value]

-sc sc_url

-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}

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