When M: Multiple node is displayed as a value of PN or MN, check the node
number using the following steps.

When a dedicated processor is assigned:
1. Find a physical processor number assigned to the LPAR on Logical Partition
Configuration screen, and write it down.
2. Check the physical processor number, Node #, written down in step 1 on the
Physical Processor Configuration screen.

When a shared processor is assigned
Check the physical processor number, Node #, which belongs to the LPAR
processor group on the Physical Processor Configuration screen.
For memory node number, press the F2 key on the Logical Partition
Configuration screen to show Memory Allocation Display. You can find the
assigned memory node number, Node # on the Display.
If one of the following three is displayed, you might not make the full use of memory
performance.

PN and MN have different numbers: the physical processor and physical
memory assigned to the LPAR belong to different nodes.

When a dedicated processor is assigned, M: Multiple nodes are shown in PN or
MN.

When a shared processor is assigned, a memory that does not belong to a
node not included in the processor group.
(14) How to enable/disable the function that detects the idle status of an LPAR’s logical
processors (Idle Detection function)
Open the Logical Partition Configuration screen. Move the cursor over the ID
column of the LPAR whose Idle Detection settings you want to change, and press
Enter . This will open a subscreen. Use the arrow keys ([↑] or [↓]) to select Yes or No,
and press Enter .
(15) How to activate an LPAR automatically
Open the Logical Partition Configuration screen. Move the cursor over the AA
column of the LPAR which you want to set Auto Activate, and press Enter . This will
open a subscreen. Enter a value between 1 and 99, and press Enter . If you do not
want to enable the Auto Activation, enter "*" .
You can set Auto Activate on a deactivated LPAR.
When you start LPAR manager, it will automatically activate the LPARs in the order
of the values set in the above subscreen, starting with the smallest numbers. If the
same value has been set for two LPARs, LPAR manager will activate the LPAR with
the lower LPAR number first.
If, for whatever reason (inability to secure assigned memory size, and so on), the
Auto Activation of one of the LPARs fails, it will not execute on the other LPARs that
have not yet been automatically activated.
Before starting the Auto Activate processing, LPAR manager accepts the
cancellation requests for 15 seconds. If you want to cancel the Auto Activate
processing, press and hold
Ctrl + c
at the time
It might not be possible to cancel the automatic activation of LPARs once it has
already started.
If Pre-State Auto Activation is set, the Auto Activation Order might be ignored. See
Options or more on Pre-State Auto Activation.
