Rename resources for each logical partition

To ensure that your server is running smoothly, learn how to reset logical partition resource names to previous values.

To reset resource names for each logical partition, perform the following steps:

  1. Access system service tools (SST) or dedicated service tools (DST) and sign on.
  2. From the SST main menu, select option 1 (Start a Service Tool), and then press Enter.
  3. Select option 7 (Hardware Service Manager (HSM)), and then press Enter.
  4. From the main Hardware Service Manager (HSM) display in DST, select option 2 (Logical hardware resource), and then press Enter.
  5. Select option 1 (System Bus Resources), and then press Enter.
  6. For each new bus on this logical partition, perform the following steps on the Logical Hardware Resource on System Bus display:
    1. Fill in the following fields:
      • System buses to work with ________ (Enter the new bus number assigned to the logical partition.)
      • Subset by ________ (Enter the default value *ALL for the field.)
    2. Press Enter. Only the resources for the selected bus are now displayed.
    3. Type option 9 (Resources associated with IOP) next to an IOP.
    4. Determine the resource names to be changed from the CUII document Resource conversions (form A880) and the system configuration list printouts (from HSM) for each logical partition.
    5. Change the resource names by typing option 2 (Change detail) for each resource that requires renaming.
    6. Repeat step 6c through 6e for each IOP on the selected bus.
    7. Repeat all of step 6 for each new bus assigned to this logical partition.
  7. Repeat step 6a through 6g for each logical partition on the server.
  8. Return the system value settings to their original values (as recorded in Changing the system value settings) on your partitions by completing the following steps:
    1. Ensure that all logical partitions are in manual mode.
    2. Exit DST.
    3. Select option 1 (IPL) for your partition.
    4. At the IPL options display, set the Define or Change System at IPL field to Yes.
    5. On the Define or change system display, select option 3 (System Value Commands) and press Enter.
    6. On the System Value Commands display, select option 2 (Change System Value) and press Enter.
    7. On the Change System Value display, enter the following values:
      • System Value ___QIPLTYPE_______
      • New Value __'0'_____
    8. Press F3 twice to continue the IPL.
    9. After the IPL has completed, enter the Work with System Values (WRKSYSVAL) command on a command line to work with the system values QAUTOCFG (Autoconfigure devices) and QPFRADJ (Performance adjustment).
    10. Restore the original setting for each of the following system values:
      • QAUTOCFG
      • QPFRADJ
