Clear nonreporting resources on logical partitions

Attention: Do not run this procedure if ANY hardware is marked as failed. Only run this procedure when all server hardware is completely operational.

After you add, remove, or move hardware within a server with logical partitions, you may have resources that are no longer available, that are listed twice, or that are no longer on the server.

You can clean up these listings so that all nonreporting resources are erased from the configuration data for the logical partition.
