drmgr is a utility for managing logical and physical hot
plug capable resources of a PowerVM LPAR or QEMU/KVM pSeries virtual machine
via Dynamic Logical Partitioning (DLPAR) operations. Outside of hot plugging
a physical PCI I/O slot the drmgr utility is intended to be invoked
remotely by a Hardware Management Console (HMC), or by a local monitoring
daemon in response to a hotplug interrupt from the controlling
hypervisor.
Unless directed by IBM support or performing a PCI hotplug
operation use caution invoking drmgr from the commandline as it can
result in inconsistent state between the LPAR and management system.
- -d
detail_level
- Set logging verbosity level.
- -w timeout
- Specify a timeout in minutes to wait on acquiring dynamic resource lock.
- -C, --capabilities
- Display DLPAR capabilities of the logical partition.
- -c drc_type
- Dynamic reconfiguration connector type to act upon from the following
list: pci, cpu, mem, port, slot,
phb.
Add, remove, identify, or replace a physical PCI adapter.
- -s
slot_location_code
- The physical slot location code to act upon.
- -i
- Identify the specified slot_location_code by turning on its visual
indicator LED.
- -R
- Interactively replace the physical PCI adapter, with
slot_location_code, by turning on the visual indicator LED to
locate the physical slot, then powering down the slot so that the current
card can be removed, and finally powering the slot back up after the new
adapter has been inserted into the slot.
- -r
- Interactively remove a physical PCI adapter, from
slot_location_code, by turning on the visual indicator LED to
locate the physical slot, and then powering down the slot so that the
current card can be removed.
- -a
- Interactively add a physical PCI adapter, to slot_location_code, by
turning on the visual indicator LED to locate the physical slot, and then
powering up the slot once the new adapter has been inserted into the slot.
- -I
- Do not perform the identify step during interactive add, remove, or
replacement operations.
Add or remove logical cpus from the system.
- -s drc_index
| drc_name
- The dynamic reconfiguration connector (DRC) index or name is used to
identify one specific CPU on which to perform the requested DLPAR
operation.
- -q quantity
- Specify a quantity of CPUs on which to perform the requested DLPAR
operation.
- -a
- Perform a DLPAR CPU(s) add operation.
- -r
- Perform a DLPAR CPU(s) remove operation.
Add or remove logical memory blocks (LMBs) from the system.
- -s drc_index
| drc_name
- The dynamic reconfiguration connector (DRC) index or name is used to
identify one specific logical memory block (LMB) on which to perform the
requested DLPAR operation.
- -q
quantity
- Specify a quantity of LMBs on which to perform the requested DLPAR
operation.
- -a
- Perform a DLPAR LMB(s) add operation.
- -r
- Perform a DLPAR LMB(s) remove operation.
Add or remove a logical IOA resource such as virtualized storage
and network adapters, or a logical PCI Host Bus that physical PCI devices
reside under including hotpluggable slots.
- -s drc_index
| drc_name
- The dynamic reconfiguration connector (DRC) index or name is used to
identify the logical resource on which to perform the associated DLPAR
operation.
- -a
- Perform a DLPAR add operation of the specified logical resource type.
- -r
- Perform a DLPAR remove operation of the specified logical resource type.
