Automated LPAR System i Resource Movement
You have partitioned your System i and gotten it organized the way you want it to be. Now you need a way to move resources quickly, on command or on a schedule. Robot/LPAR, the resource movement software for the System i, comes to the rescue.
Move Resources Among Partitions For Efficient Processing
With Robot/LPAR, you can move System i resources from one partition to another,
by command, according to your processing needs. For example, if you've
created a partition for sales and another for production, you may want
more resources available for the sales partition during the day and for
the production partition at night. Robot/LPAR works hand-in-hand with the
Hardware Management Console (HMC) in an IBM System i environment to move
resources where they are needed.
Robot/LPAR can move the following resources:
You can also monitor or change partition status from a Robot/LPAR panel without using the HMC.
Set Resource Levels To Meet SLA Requirements
If you have a service level agreement (SLA) or something similar, Robot/LPAR
lets you set fixed levels for processor capacity and memory to meet the
requirement. This can be accomplished only if the resources are available.
Schedule Resource Movement With Robot/SCHEDULE
Robot/LPAR works with Robot/SCHEDULE, the job scheduling and batch management
software, to schedule resource movements according to your processing needs.
Just set up the jobs
containing the commands to move resources and let Robot/SCHEDULE do the rest.
Robot/SCHEDULE's cross-system reactivity lets you schedule device movement across partitions based on job completion.
Add Robot/AUTOTUNE To Maximize Moved Memory
Robot/AUTOTUNE, the System i performance monitoring and tuning package, works
with Robot/LPAR to tune moved memory. After Robot/LPAR moves memory to
a partition, Robot/AUTOTUNE allocates it to the subsystems and memory pools
that need it.
