RE: New HMC look: how to dynamically lpar

I saw that when it came out, and I think this is a mistake on IBM's side. Every time I present an HMC session, I ask who is using which interface, and about 90% are using the classic interface. I would imagine most people will be slow to upgrade past V8R8.6

HMC V8 R8.6.0 will be the last release to support the 'Classic' login.

That is no longer the case. Your version of HMC probably matches this out of date documentation
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1012228

I agree on the classic view. I just used it this morning to bang out adding another nwsd. I'm just battling through the enhanced view with IBM as I suspect that IBM will some day do away with 'classic' and want the enhanced fixed prior to that.

Plea: Open up tickets and get this fixed.

You can select the view at login. There is a drop down upon login that defaults to "Last Log In". Most people probably use the classic due to this setting, but you can force it to use the Enhanced view by selecting it here.

Rob - from Enhanced view, select the partition and from the task menu below, select "Manage". The properties window will open and from there you can select the Processor/Memory tabs and you can dynamically adjust the assigned resources by either entering a value or dragging the bar.

I agree with Larry, this view has issues and I prefer the classic view myself.

Version 8. :-) In 8.8.4 it went from Enhanced to Enhanced plus.
Enhanced went away.

But you can select 'classic' and stay with that. I have.

The enhanced view is 'pretty' and all guisish and all but has many issues.
I cannot make it work for me.

I DID ONCE find the way to DLPAR stuff in and out. I do not remember how
that worked. But it is in there. It was very convoluted. (IMHO)

Rob,

I'm on 8.8.4.0
I don't think I have the "enhanced view"
I'm probably using "classic view"

What release did "enhanced view" appear in?

Are you using the "Classic" or the "Enhanced" view?

Using the "Enhanced" view on the newer versions of the HMC how does one

dynamically lpar? I do not want to schedule it, I want to do it now.

Besides, the scheduler is for physical hardware, not virtual stuff.
