Shared FC port status
It is highly recommended that you should set the shared FC port status to Available. When
the shared port status is set to LinkDown, more time is required for booting LPAR
manager and changing the scheduling mode of the PCI device depending on the number
of LinkDown ports. The following table shows the relation between the number of installed
ports and required time for execution.

Notes on LPAR manager shutdown
There is no way to check when the LPAR manager configuration is saved. If the time is
unknown, you need to save the LPAR manager configuration before shutting down LPAR
manager. Press F9 Save Configuration on the LPAR manager Menu screen to save
LPAR manager configuration. If you shut down or reboot LPAR manager before saving
the configuration, newly changed values will be lost. See Save configuration changed on
LPAR manager screen for information about how to save LPAR manager configuration.
Flash memory failure

It is strongly recommended that you should regularly create backup files of LPAR
manager configuration in case of flash memory failure.
LPAR manager firmware 58-5X/78-5X or later versions automatically recover from flash
memory failure if it is not critical. A log “LPAR manager Loader detected the damage of
flash memory and load configuration files from SVP.” is collected in the LP system log at
automatic recovery. If this system log is collected every time you boot LPAR manager,
contact your reseller or consult maintenance personnel.
