This README.md file details on how to configure system to run dlpar cpu/memory tests

Ensure LPARs are installed with dlpar packages for respective Distros(Ex: RHEL and SLES)

Path to install dlpar packages:

Ensure, lpars are capable of dlpar operationis i.e, CPU, MEMORY Dlpar capable and RMC state is active

Run below command on HMC and check:

lssyscfg -r lpar -m -F lpar_id,name,rmc_state,dlpar_mem_capable,dlpar_proc_capable,dlpar_io_capable

HowTo run tests from avocado:

avocado run --test-runner runner dlpar_main.py -m

This test require 2 LPARs to run dlpar cpu, memory operations namely add/remove/move.

All the test configuration needs to be filled in dlpar_main.py.data/dlpar.yaml

Sample dlpar.yaml is provided as below:

#cat dlpar_main.py.data/dlpar.yaml
