(1) What is Pre-State Auto Activation?
Pre-State Auto Activation ascertains and saves the activated/deactivated status of
LPARs. In the event of an LPAR manager reboot following a power supply failure or
forced shutdown of the server blade, the LPARs can be automatically activated to
the same status they were in before the LPAR manager reboot.
When the LPAR manager system is normally shut down, even if Pre-State Auto
Activation is set to 'Yes', the LPAR is not automatically activated.
Pre-State Auto Activation automatically activates LPARs in ascending order, where
the Auto Activation Order setting is ignored. When node numbers are specified to
MN: memory node on the Logical Partition Configuration screen, those LPARs with
node number specified are automatically activated first and then other LPARs
without specified node numbers are activated.
If for any reason (such as a failure to obtain the allocated memory) the Auto
Activation of any LPAR fails, the subsequent LPARs will not be activated
automatically.
(2) How to change Pre-State Auto Activation
Display the LP Options screen.
Place the cursor on Pre-State Auto Activation under System Control and press
Enter to display a subscreen. Use the arrow keys ([↑] or [↓]) to select 'Yes' or 'No',
and press Enter.
(3) How to change LP Auto Shutdown
Display the LP Options screen.
Place the cursor on LP Auto Shutdown under System Control and press Enter to
display a subscreen. Use the arrow keys ([↑] or [↓]) to move the cursor to select
'Yes' or 'No', and press Enter.
When LPAR migration is performed, LP Auto Shutdown is
disabled, the same as when the value is "No".
(4) How to cancel shutdown processing due to the power control schedule
When the LPAR manager system is shut down using the power control schedule of
ServerConductor/Blade Server Manager, the shutdown state changes from Ready
to In Progress when the shutdown time arrives, and shutdown processing begins.
At this time, operations to activate LPARs are suppressed. To cancel this shutdown
processing, follow the steps below.
Display the LP Options screen.
Place the cursor on Shutdown State under System Control and press Enter to
display a subscreen. Use the arrow keys ([↑] or [↓]) to select Yes, and press Enter.
If all the LPARs are not deactivated within 30 minutes from the start of shutdown
processing, the shutdown processing is canceled and the shutdown status returns
to Ready. This also removes the suppression of LPAR activation.
