Configuring AIX 5.3 and AIX 6.1 on POWER5 and POWER6® (Micro-Partitioning)

To configure AIX® Micro-Partitioning® in shared and uncapped mode to work with Intelligent Management, you must enable performance collection in the Hardware management console (HMC).

Before you begin

Ensure you have access to the HMC for your AIX servers.

About this task

If you do not configure this setting in your HMC, but you are using AIX micro-partitioning in shared and uncapped mode, the following message displays in your system out log of the node agent process:
APMI_XDSYSTEM_HW_INFO_WARN=ASPS0023W: The logical partition on which this node resides has a mode of shared, a type of uncapped, 
but performance collection is not enabled.
You must enable this setting so that Intelligent Management can recognize more than the entitled capacity for a logical partition (LPAR).

Procedure

  1. Enable the performance hardware collection setting for each LPAR. In the HMC, click Systems management > Servers > physical_server_name > LPAR_name. Select Allow performance hardware collection.
  2. Click OK.
  3. Restart the LPAR.

Results

Intelligent Management can recognize more than the entitled capacity for a logical partition (LPAR).
