Load Source Device

Use this window to change the load source that is associated with this partition profile.

You can designate either an I/O processor (IOP) or an I/O adapter (IOA) as your load source device. If you select the IOA, then the system will find the load source device more quickly when you start IBM i for the first time.

This window displays only devices that are selected as required for this partition profile on the Physical I/O page. If the desired load source does not display here, then click Cancel, click Physical I/O, and ensure that the desired load source is selected as required for the partition profile.

There are rules regulating where you can place the load source for IBM i logical partitions. These rules vary by server or expansion unit model.

Any change you make on this window takes effect only after you shut down the logical partition and reactivate the logical partition that is associated with this partition profile.
