30 IBM z13s Technical Guide
DPM provides simplified, consumable, and enhanced partition lifecycle and dynamic I/O
management capabilities by using the Hardware Management Console and is designed to
perform these tasks:
Create and provision an environment:
– Create new partitions
– Assignment of processors and memory
– Configuration of I/O adapters (Network, FCP Storage, Crypto, and Accelerators)
Manage the environment: Modify system resources without disrupting running workloads
Monitor and troubleshoot the environment: Source identification of system failures,
conditions, states, or events that can lead to workload degradation.
A CPC can be in either the DPM mode or the standard PR/SM mode.
DPM mode is enabled before the CPC power-on reset.
Operating the CPC in DPM mode requires two OSA-Express 1000BASE-T Ethernet ports
(recommended that these be on separate features) for primary and backup SE
connectivity.
