You cannot give an existing Lpar another name through dynamic IOCDS. 2. You can rename a reserved (name=*) lpar to a real name. 3. You can rename an existing lpar to reserved (name=*). So yes, you can rename an Lpar in 2 IOCDS updates, rename it first to * and then rename it to its new name.

Re: LPAR Rename
Mark Zelden said: It's available with a z990 and z/OS 1.6 or above. But you have to plan. It involves defining an LPAR with a name of * as a placeholder. As a matter of interest what should RMF be expected to call this LPAR? I've seen lots of SMF data from customers and have an especial interest in Type 70 Subtype 1. And I've never seen one with an LPAR name of *.

Re: LPAR Rename
Besides the HCD manuals this is also described in the various hardware redbooks like: IBM System z9 Business Class Technical Introduction. I think RMF/SMF70-1 will only have 'activated' LPARs regardless of being IPL'd or type of LPAR (MVS, IFL, Coupling Facility). So '*' can be a place holder, but not activated.

Al Sherkow said: I think RMF/SMF70-1 will only have 'activated' LPARs regardless of being IPL'd or type of LPAR (MVS, IFL, Coupling Facility). I'm afraid that's not right: Inactive partitions show up in the LPAR sections but as having zero engines and zero memory. (I see them in raw SMF and in the RMF CPU Activity report. Today I don't process the sections for inactive LPARs and I'm beginning to think I should - for completeness or awareness of what the customer is doing with the machine.

LPAR Rename
Does anyone know the procedure to rename an LPAR on a z9 without a POR? -- Mark Jacobs Time Customer Service Tampa, FL Riley: Find the next number in the sequence: 313, 331, 367, ...? what? The Doctor: 379. It's a sequence of happy primes, 379. Martha: Happy what? The Doctor: Just enter it! Riley: Are you sure? We only get one chance. The Doctor: Any number that reduces to one when you take the sum of the square of its digits and continue iterating until it yields 1 is a happy number, any number that doesn't, isn't. A happy prime is both happy and prime.

Re: LPAR Rename
I'm anxious for more posts on this topic. We don't yet have a z9, but I thought that one of the selling points was being able to define 'dummy' LPARs in advance, then make them 'real' as needed by 'renaming' and assigning memory, CPs, and I/O connections, all without a POR. Am I missing something in the z9 or in the original question? . .

Re: LPAR Rename
I opened up an ETR with IBM on my question and I received this answer. You can change the name dynamically. Basically have to change the image to reserve and then from reserve to the new name. To change the partition to reserve, you have to disconnect all channel paths and devices from the partition. See the HCD User's guide for section Changing partitions in chapter 6. Once the image is down, deactivate the image and then make the IODF changes. Once you done the IODF activate with the new partition name, you'll pickup the new name in the images group for the CPC. You can now select the image and customize the activation profiles for it to customize the new image profile. Once you've made the updates for the iamge, then you can activate it.
