.
When you use HCSM to change the LPAR manager configuration, HCSM
automatically saves the LPAR manager configuration information.
Backing up the LPAR manager configuration as of a time before
device isolation
When device isolation occurs, the LPAR manager does not detect devices in
startup of the LPAR manager. At that time, part of the LPAR manager
configuration on devices is cleared or reset.
By using the KeepConfig option, the LPAR manager does not save the LPAR
manager configuration in device isolation until exit of safe mode and holds
LPAR manager configuration before device isolation.
