If changing LPAR manager configuration or LPAR configuration with

Save Time Config enabled, make sure to save LPAR manager

configuration at the end of the setting change. Although LPAR

manager configuration is saved at time adjustment with Save Time

Config enabled, the timing cannot be specified.

•

When LPAR manager configuration is saved at time adjustment, LPAR

manager screen appears; system event logs are collected; the alert

is notified. Those operations can be prevented by disabling Save

Time Config.
