Re: New HMC look: how to dynamically lpar

The ONLY thing I have found that's pretty cool in the new interface (if I can find it, each time I have to search) is a log of all the commands you issue when cliking on stuff in the GUI. So in my HMC command processor (which uses SSH to reach into the HMC and enter commands) I can add those things without having to figure out all the syntax. :-)

Clearly the new interface isn't 'ready' yet because things are partially off screen, some when you choose 'select' still does auto assignment (such as slot number for DLPAR) and columns in the table view are MASSIVLY wide and you can't change them or select them. The 'tile view' (default) is a mess when you have a lot of partitions.

Then add in that you don't get the popups like the old view and it can drive you nuts attempting to compare two profiles or partitions.

I get they are attempting to make it look newer but we need to be able to do our jobs too.

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 Your version of HMC probably matches this out of date documentation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.
