Re: Missing Fibre card

[Roberto José Etcheverry Romero <yggdrasil.raiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

In any case, if the system is HMC managed but not LPAR'ed you might still
have to manually go into the profile and add the card OR recreate the
profile. I more than once had a problem where a "use all resources"
profiles would not take the hint when adding memory or CPUs and they woudl
stay unassigned. Only a new profile would solve it (in my case at least).
Other thing that points that way is the "slot occupied" status on the card,
that's also what happens when the card is assigned to another LPAR or not
assigned at all.

Best Regards,

Roberto
