(1) How to change Scheduling Mode (Schd)
You can change the Scheduling Mode (Schd) of a NIC or FC that support shared
allocation.
In the Xeon-version LPAR manager firmware 56-XX or later versions, “+” is
added to the scheduling mode (Schd) of the PCI device that can be configured.
Before modifying the Schd setting of a NIC or FC, you must deactivate all LPARs.
Open the
PCI Device Assignment screen. Move the cursor to the intersection
between the Schd row and the PCI device number column, and press Enter . This
opens a subscreen where you can select assignments. Move the cursor over the
item that you want to change, and press Enter .
To apply the changes of Schd to the LPAR manager system, press F10 and select
Yes in the confirmation subscreen that opens. After you select Yes , you will not be
able to perform any operations on LPAR manager for one to three minutes until the
setting changes completes.
To abort the change of
Schd , press F10 and select No in the confirmation screen
that opens. All changed settings are restored to their original values.
It takes time to apply the change in Schd to the LPAR manager system. You cannot
change settings except the Schd or move to another screen until the process is
complete. To change except the Schd or move to another screen, press F10:
Update PCI Dev Schd, select either "Yes" or "No" to complete the change process,
or cancel the change.
(2) How to assign a PCI device to an LPAR
Open the PCI Device Assignment screen. Move the cursor over the intersection
between the
LPAR
, to which you want to assign the PCI device, and the PCI device
column, and press Enter . In the subscreen that appears, move the cursor over A
and press Enter. To undo an assignment, select "*".
(3) How to change LPARs to connect a PCI device
Open the
PCI Device Assignment
screen. Press
F5 Attach/Detach
to display a
subscreen. Select an LPAR to change on the subscreen and press Enter .
(4) How to change settings for USB Auto Allocation
LPAR manager firmware version 59-0X/79-0X or later

Disable USB Auto Allocation to LPAR on the LP Options screen before
using this function.

When an LPAR with USB status #A is activated, the state will be changed to
#R. If the USB is attached to another LPAR, it will not be automatically
attached to the LPAR activated later.

When USB status is changed to Not assigned, the USB Auto Allocation setting
will be cancelled.
You can change USB Auto Allocation settings for activated and deactivated LPARs.
Point the cursor on
A or R for status, and press F6 : Set/Reset to toggle between
Set and Reset. This setting is exclusive. Then, if the USB has been Set to another
LPAR, the setting will be shifted.
When
Set is selected, A or R will change to #A or #R respectively. USB
Attach/Detach is not performed.
When
Reset is selected, #A or #R will change to A or R respectively. USB
Attach/Detach is not performed.
A USB is automatically attached only to an LPAR with the USB status #A when the
LPAR is activated. If the USB status to the LPAR is not #A, the USB is not
automatically attached. If no LPAR has the status #A, the USB is not automatically
attached to any LPAR.
