Precautions for OS installation on LPAR manager
Be aware of the following precautions for LPAR manager environment.
Activating, resetting the LPAR
To activate or reset the LPAR, perform them through the LPAR manager
management screen. Do not use the power button or the reset button for the
operation. Also, do not use the dump command from the management
module. It is because such operations are performed on the server blade, not
on the LPAR; pressing the server blade buttons affect the server blade, and
can damage the OS.
