LPAR name
In this field you can specify an LPAR filter, that is, the name of a
partition as defined in Hardware Configuration Definition (HCD) or otherwise
provided as input to the I/O configuration program (IOCP). Use an LPAR
filter to restrict the configuration information of this system profile to a
specific LPAR.
- If you are using filters in LOADxx or IEASYMxx to define different IPL
modes, you must specify a filter to match one of the modes. You can
later add further system profiles to your system, one for each IPL mode you
want to customize your services for.
- If you are not using filters in LOADxx or IEASYMxx, you can but need not
specify a filter. If you specify a new filter, the filter is created in
LOADxx and IEASYMxx. All customization for the system profile then
applies only IPL mode that corresponds to the filter. See also Using filters.
Rules: The hardware filter must adhere to the following
rules:
- It must be the name of an existing LPAR
- It can be 1 through 8 characters
- It can contain alphabetic characters, numeric characters, and the
following national characters: @ $ #
- The first character must not be numeric
Example: LPAR01
