Autostart of LPAR

Hi,

I have 2 lpars on my AIX that needs to be started manually after each reboot.

Because the servers are storing the NFS and NIS info, other servers won't run correctly until they start up.

I found in IBM documentation the steps to make it automatic.

My question is, I want to know if there are other areas for concern before running this command?

$ chsysstate -r sys -o on -n ITSO_p690 -c lpar -b auto

Appreciate any inputs.

Thanks,

Autostart of an LPAR should not result in any problems as long as every resource the LPAR needs is available at boottime. As long as you use dedicated disk and adapter devices from your p4/p5whatever this should almost never be a problem. However, I have seen this being a problem with VIO and SAN disk devices that where not accessible in time. I.e. make sure that you set up your environment in a way that there are no potential obstacles in the LPAR's boot process.

Thanks Shockneck!
