Fields

Shared directory
When a WPAR is relocated a set of files is generated including logs and the state file used to save the full context of the applications running within the WPAR. Specify the directory where these files are going to be generated during the relocation work flows. For system WPARs, this directory refers to a location relative to the root directory (/) of the WPAR itself. For application WPARs this directory refers to a location relative to the root directory of the managed system that is hosting the WPAR.
Note: Since files generated during relocation must be accessible from both the departure system and the arrival system, it is important to make sure that what you specify as the shared directory is accessible from any system where application WPARs are to be relocated. You can do this by mounting the shared directory over an NFS file system in each managed system. In the case of system WPARs this is not necessary because the shared directory refers to a location within the WPAR's file system, which is already accessible from both the departure and the destination systems.

Actions

Enable debug information for relocation logs
Enables verbose log messages for relocation operations. Only select this option for debugging purposes as it affects performance.
Preserve workload partition definitions after the workload partitions have been deleted
Preserves workload partition definitions after a system workload partition has been deleted or an application workload partition has been stopped. Workload partition definitions also get created and persisted during the create workload partitions tasks if any error occurs during the create operation. If workload partition definitions are preserved they can be deployed at a later time on a WPAR-capable system. If this option is not selected, no records are persisted on the IBM® Systems Director environment after a workload partition has been deleted from the managed system.
