Note: You must power a partition off before you try to modify it. Menu items related to partition modifications are disabled when the partition is in power-on state.
Some of the operations that modify the configuration of a partition are:
Remove CPUs from a partition
Add CPUs to a subpartition
Assign memory to a subpartition
Assign Memory to a community
Remove CPUs from a partition
To remove CPUs from a partition, select the CPUs in the partitions logical view and assign them to the platform’s free pool or the hard partition’s free pool using the right mouse context popup menus of the partitions and hard partition respectively.
Add CPUs to a subpartition
You can add CPUs only from the platform’s free pool or a hard partition's free subpool to a subpartition. Move the CPUs to the free pool first. Then select the CPUs again and assign them to the subpartition.
Assign memory to a subpartition
Select the subpartition’s Properties menu. In the Properties dialog box select the ‘Assign Memory To Sub Partition’ button and enter the amount of memory you want to assign.
Assign memory to community
You can assign memory to a community only if a hard partition has more than one subpartition. If there are more than one subpartitions, select the hard partition’s Properties menu. In the Hard Partition Properties dialog box, select the ‘Assign Memory To Community’ button and enter the memory you want to assign.
