(1) How to rename an LPAR
Open the Logical Partition Configuration screen. Move the cursor over the name
of the LPAR that you want to rename. The name is displayed at the beginning of the
row under the Name column. Press Enter to display a subscreen for renaming the
LPAR. After entering the new name, press Enter.
The LPAR name can be set at up to 31 characters. You cannot give a different
LPAR the same name. The LPAR name can be changed only when the relevant
LPAR is inactive.
If the LPAR name consists of nine or more characters, the eighth character is
represented as ~ and the ninth and subsequent characters are omitted. You can
use the characters "0~9", "a~z", "A~Z", "-", and "_" in the LPAR name, but the first
character in a LPAR name must be a letter: "a~z", or "A~Z".
(2) How to activate (power-on) an LPAR
Open the Logical Partition Configuration screen. Move the cursor over the Sta
column of the LPAR row that you want to activate, and press Enter. Move the
cursor over Activate on the displayed subscreen and press Enter.
You can also activate a LPAR by pressing F3 in the Logical Partition
Configuration screen. Move the cursor over the LPAR that you want to activate on
the displayed subscreen and press Enter.
This activation operation works only on LPARs that are deactivated.
(3) How to deactivate (power-off) an LPAR
Open the Logical Partition Configuration screen. Move the cursor over the Sta
column of the LPAR row that you want to deactivate, and press Enter. Move the
cursor over Deactivate on the displayed subscreen and press Enter.
You can also deactivate a LPAR by pressing F4 in the Logical Partition
Configuration screen. Move the cursor over the LPAR that you want to deactivate
on the displayed subscreen and press Enter.
This deactivation operation works only on LPARs that are activated.
LPAR deactivation is equivalent to server power-off. Caution is necessary in
performing this operation especially if performed during data access (such as
starting a guest OS). Because a disk might be damaged, we recommend shutting
down the guest OS instead of deactivation.
When shutting down the guest OS in operation on an

LPAR, the guest OS might hang up in the final process.
If the guest OS hangs up, deactivate the LPAR. The
disk will not be damaged because the LPAR has been
disconnected from the disk.
