Perform resource management for a partitioned server

After you change a hardware feature, you may need to perform the following tasks:

• Assign resources to partitions as necessary.

  For information about assigning resources to a partition, see Perform dynamic movement of resources.

• If you have changed the disk configuration, perform disk unit management to first protect and then configure the disks on your server.

  To do this, you can use the Work with Disk Units option from the Dedicated Service Tools display. To learn how, see Chapter 18. "Procedures for Configuring Disks and Disk Protection" of the Backup and Recovery Guide.

  Note: Once you have completed your disk configuration, you can remove any unused disk units from the configuration using dedicated service tools (DST). For information, see "How to Remove a Disk unit from an Auxiliary Storage Pool" in Chapter 19. "Working with Auxiliary Storage Pools" of the Backup and Recovery Guide.

  Disk units that you remove from the configuration should also be physically removed to prevent them from being added back into the configuration during an IPL.

• Update workstations, communications, removable media, LAN, WAN, or Integrated xSeries^® Server (IXS) hardware resource names as necessary.

  For information about changing hardware resource names, see the Fix hardware resource names after an upgrade topic.

• If you have changed your console type, perform the IPL and resource management tasks in Prepare the partitioned server for production.
• If you have made changes to enable clusters or independent disk pools, use the information in Configure a cluster and Configure independent disk pools.
