=head1 DESCRIPTION
=head2 PPC specific:
=head2 PPC (with HMC) specific:
The chvm command modifies the partition profile for the partitions specified in noderange. A partitions current profile can be read using lsvm, modified, and piped into the chvm command, or changed with the -p flag.
This command also supports to change specific partition attributes by specifying one or more "attribute equals value" pairs in command line directly, without whole partition profile.
=head2 PPC (using Direct FSP Management) specific:
chvm is designed to assign the I/O slots to the new LPAR. Both the current IO owning lpar and the new IO owning lpar must be powered off before an IO assignment. Otherwise, if the I/O slot is belonged to an Lpar and the LPAR is power on, the command will return an error when trying to assign that slot to a different lpar.
The administrator should use lsvm to get the profile content, and then edit the content, and add the node name with ":" manually before the I/O which will be assigned to the node. And then the profile can be piped into the chvm command, or changed with the -p flag.
=head2 VMware specific:
The chvm command modifes the vm specified in noderange. Calling with deregister or purge options at the same time as the resize option is not recommended.
