LPAR Detailed Settings
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
Fine grained control over LPAR settings can be achieved by setting PowerVM
|
||||||
|
specific properties (``extra-specs``) on the flavors being used to instantiate a VM. For the
|
||||||
|
complete list of PowerVM properties see `IBM PowerVC documentation`_.

|
||||||
|
For example, to create a VM with one VCPU and 0.7 entitlement (0.7 of the physical
|
||||||
|
CPU resource), a user could use a flavor created as follows::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
openstack flavor create --vcpus 1 --ram 6144 --property \
|
||||||
|
powervm:proc_units=0.7 pvm-6-1-0.7
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the example above ``powervm:proc_units`` property was used to specify CPU
|
||||||
|
entitlement for the VM.
