• LPAR manager Web system, logical VGA snapshot, is not displayed, or
refreshing the display takes longer time.
• It takes longer time, five minutes or longer, to collect LPAR manager
dumps.
You can find a value of the processor usage rate in the LPAR manager
network communication as a value of SYS2 on the LPAR Usage screen. When
a problem shown above occurs, check the SYS2 value on the LPAR Usage
screen. If 1800 ms or larger is shown as Dsp (ms) in SYS2, the heavy load on
the shared NIC is supposed to cause the problem.
When a heavy load on the shared NIC causes such a problem, reconfigure the
network configuration of the shared NIC and the load on it.
When the heavy load is temporary, perform the failed operation again after
the load is relieved.
