Adding an LPAR to a capacity group in the active policy

If iCap is managing the members of a capacity group (rather than the group itself), use the following procedure to add an LPAR to the group.

To avoid disrupting the execution of the policy, you should include the LPAR in the policy definition before making changes to the group in the Hardware Management Console (HMC).

To add an LPAR to a group in the active policy

  1. Add the LPAR to the policy definition:

    • If iCap is already managing the LPAR (individually, or as a member of a different group), review the LPAR's current attributes relative to the policy and skip to Step 3.
    • If the LPAR exists on the CPC, add it to the policy and review the LPAR's current attributes
    • If the LPAR does not yet exist on the CPC, add it to the policy by typing ADDN on the COMMAND line on the NLPARGRP view.

    For more information about adding LPARs to a policy, see Updating-a-policy-definition.

  2. Activate the updated policy.

    Important

    If the LPAR does not yet exist on the CPC, iCap ignores the LPAR until you make changes to the HMC. iCap sends out the following message:

    Specified LPAR xxxxxxxx does not exist.

  3. Access the HMC and add the LPAR to the group.iCap starts managing the new LPAR immediately.
