    This is the link for tips and checklist, but does not seem to help.

    I nim one of my problematic LPAR from a working LPAR, but not able to use
    DLPAR after cloning.

    sounds good.

    We have the same issue I just haven't called IBM on it yet. We have some
    LPARS on the same hardware that have DLPAR as on option and others that do
    not, same OS level. I did some checking a while back and I did come across
    some info that talked about network and DNS issues between the HMC and
    LPARS
    causing problems. If you get a solution please post it. If I get one
    before you do I'll post it.

    We are having problem not be able to utilize the Dynamic LPAR feature on
    the
    following LPARs. On the Web console, Dynamic LPAR option does not show up
    when we right click on the LPAR. I have been working with IBM supports for
    the last couple days and provided them all sources of traces, but they
    still
    have not identify the problem. If you have seen a similar problem and have
    a solution, please help.

    Here are the configurations:

    P670 with ROM Level.(alterable).......2H040323 [ latest ]
    - LPAR 1
            - AIX 5.2 ML04
            - rsct.core.X 2.3.4.X [ latest ]
            - csm.client 1.4.0.1 [ latest ]

    - LPAR 2
            - AIX 5.2 ML02
            - rsct.core.X 2.3.2.0
            - csm.client 1.3.1.3

    HMC 7315-0C1, R3V2.6

    FYI:
    At another location with different HMC, we have a p650 with the exact OS
    level as explained in LPAR2 and the Dynamic LPAR is working perfectly.
