HMC Tips VIII - DLPAR Requirements

1. What is version requirment for DLPAR operations ?
a. A P4 processor based pSeries system or later
b. October 2002 or later system microcode update
c. A HMC at version R3V1.0 or later
4. AIX 5L Version 5.2 or later

2. What are the AIX filesets required for DLPAR ?
a. # lslpp -l rsct.core*
b. # lslpp -l csm.client

3. What are the daemons required for DLPAR ?
#lssrc -a | grep rsct ctrmc rsct 21044 active
IBM.CSMAgentRM rsct_rm 21045 active
IBM.ServiceRM rsct_rm 11836 active
IBM.DRM rsct_rm 20011 active
IBM.HostRM rsct_rm 20012 active
IBM.DMSRM rsct_rm 906 active
IBM.LparCmdRM rsct_rm 901 active

4. On HMC, how to list partitions recognized by DLAPR ?
# lspartition -dlpar

If all active AIX 5.2 partitions are listed as Active, ..., DCaps: your system has been set up properly for DLPAR.
If you're missing some active partitions or some partitions are reported as Active, your system probably still has a network/hostname set up problem.

5. How to resolve name resolution issues between LPARs and HMC ?
Step I :
# vi /etc/resolv.conf
1.Same DNS server for LPARs and HMC
2.Remove the duplicate entries.

Step II:
Please check to see the that ct_node_id is unique for each node in the environment:
"cat /var/ct/cfg/ct_node_id"\

If duplicate ct_node_id values are found issue a recfgct on the problem node(s) to have a new/unique ct_node_id generated.
# /usr/sbin/rsct/install/bin/recfgct
