A :term:`LPAR` (Logical Partition) is a subset of the hardware resources of a
:term:`CPC` in classic mode (or ensemble mode), virtualized as a separate
computer.

LPARs cannot be created or deleted by the user; they can only be listed.

LPAR resources are contained in CPC resources.

LPAR resources only exist in CPCs that are in classic mode (or ensemble mode).
CPCs in DPM mode have :term:`Partition` resources, instead.

        Any resource property may be specified in a filter argument. For

        The listing of resources is handled in an optimized way:

        * If this manager is enabled for :ref:`auto-updating`, a locally
          maintained resource list is used (which is automatically updated via
          inventory notifications from the HMC) and the provided filter
          arguments are applied.

        * Otherwise, if the filter arguments specify the resource name as a
          single filter argument with a straight match string (i.e. without
          regular expressions), an optimized lookup is performed based on a
          locally maintained name-URI cache.

        * Otherwise, the HMC List operation is performed with the subset of the
          provided filter arguments that can be handled on the HMC side and the
          remaining filter arguments are applied on the client side on the list
          result.

        Activate (start) this LPAR, using the HMC operation "Activate Logical
        Partition".

        This HMC operation has deferred status behavior: If the asynchronous
        job on the HMC is complete, it may take a few seconds until the LPAR
        status has reached the desired value. If `wait_for_completion=True`,
        this method repeatedly checks the status of the LPAR after the HMC
        operation has completed, and waits until the status is in the desired
        state "not-operating" (which indicates that the LPAR is active but
        no operating system is running), or "operating", or if
        `allow_status_exceptions` was set additionally in the state
        "exceptions".

        The following approach is used to determine the desired state to wait
        for if `wait_for_completion=True`:

        - if the 'operating-mode' property of the image profile is 'ssc' or
          'zaware', the desired state is "operating".
        - if the profile specified in `activation_profile_name` is not the
          LPAR's image profile, it is assumed to be a load profile and
          the desired state is "operating".
        - if the 'load-at-activation' property of the image profile is True,
          the desired state is "operating".
        - else, the desired state is "not-operating".

        Authorization requirements:

        * Object-access permission to this LPAR.
        * Before HMC API version 3.6 in an update to HMC 2.15.0: Object-access
          permission to the CPC of this LPAR.
        * Task permission for the "Activate" task.

        Parameters:

          wait_for_completion (bool):
            Boolean controlling whether this method should wait for completion
            of the requested asynchronous HMC operation, as follows:

            * If `True`, this method will wait for completion of the
              asynchronous job performing the operation, and for the status
              becoming "not-operating" or "operating" (or in addition
              "exceptions", if `allow_status_exceptions` was set.

            * If `False`, this method will return immediately once the HMC has
              accepted the request to perform the operation.

          operation_timeout (:term:`number`):
            Timeout in seconds, for waiting for completion of the asynchronous
            job performing the operation. The special value 0 means that no
            timeout is set. `None` means that the default async operation
            timeout of the session is used. If the timeout expires when
            `wait_for_completion=True`, a
            :exc:`~zhmcclient.OperationTimeout` is raised.

          status_timeout (:term:`number`):
            Timeout in seconds, for waiting that the status of the LPAR has
            reached the desired status, after the HMC operation has completed.
            The special value 0 means that no timeout is set. `None` means that
            the default status timeout of the session is used.
            If the timeout expires when `wait_for_completion=True`, a
            :exc:`~zhmcclient.StatusTimeout` is raised.

          allow_status_exceptions (bool):
            Boolean controlling whether LPAR status "exceptions" is considered
            an additional acceptable end status when `wait_for_completion` is
            set.

          activation_profile_name (:term:`string`):
            Name of the load or image activation profile to be used instead
            of the one specified in the `next-activation-profile-name` property
            of the LPAR, or `None`.

            If this parameter specifies an image activation profile, its name
            must match the LPAR name. For non-SSC partitions, the image
            profile's `load-at-activation` property determines whether the
            activation is followed by a load of the control program using the
            load-related parameters from the image profile. SSC partitions are
            always auto-loaded (regardless of the `load-at-activation`
            property).

            If this parameter specifies a load activation profile, the
            activation uses the image profile with the same name as the LPAR.
            The activation is always followed by a load of the control program
            (regardless of the image profile's `load-at-activation` property)
            using the parameters from the load profile.

            If this parameter is `None`, the `next-activation-profile-name`
            property of the LPAR will be used. That property can again specify
            an image profile or a load profile which are treated as described
            above. If that property is `None`, the image profile with the same
            name as the LPAR is used and is treated as described above.

          force (bool):
            Boolean controlling whether this operation is permitted when the
            LPAR is in the "operating" status.

            TBD: What will happen with the LPAR in that case (deactivated then
            activated? nothing?)

        Returns:

          `None` or :class:`~zhmcclient.Job`:

            If `wait_for_completion` is `True`, returns `None`.

            If `wait_for_completion` is `False`, returns a
            :class:`~zhmcclient.Job` object representing the asynchronously
            executing job on the HMC.
            This job does not support cancellation.

        This HMC operation has deferred status behavior: If the asynchronous
        job on the HMC is complete, it takes a few seconds until the LPAR
        status has reached the desired value. If `wait_for_completion=True`,

        operation has completed, and waits until the status is in the desired
        state "operating", or if `allow_status_exceptions` was
        set additionally in the state "exceptions".

        Authorization requirements:

        * Object-access permission to this LPAR.
        * Before HMC API version 3.6 in an update to HMC 2.15.0: Object-access
          permission to the CPC of this LPAR.
        * Task permission for the "SCSI Load" task.

        Parameters:

            Device number of the boot device.

          wwpn (:term:`string`):
            Worldwide port name (WWPN) of the target SCSI device to be
            used for this operation, in hexadecimal.

          lun (:term:`string`):
            Hexadecimal logical unit number (LUN) to be used for the
            SCSI load.

          load_parameter (:term:`string`):
            Optional load control string.
            If empty string or `None`, it is not passed to the HMC, and the
            HMC default of an empty string will be used.

          disk_partition_id (:term:`integer`):
            Optional disk-partition-id (also called the boot program
            selector) to be used for the SCSI load.
            If `None`, it is not passed to the HMC, and the HMC default
            of 0 will be used.

          operating_system_specific_load_parameters (:term:`string`):
            Optional operating system specific load parameters to be
            used for the SCSI load.
            If empty string or `None`, it is not passed to the HMC, and the
            HMC default of an empty string will be used.

          boot_record_logical_block_address (:term:`string`):

            of "0" will be used.

          force (bool):
            Boolean controlling whether this operation is permitted when the
            LPAR is in the "operating" status.

          wait_for_completion (bool):
            Boolean controlling whether this method should wait for completion
            of the requested asynchronous HMC operation, as follows:

            * If `True`, this method will wait for completion of the
              asynchronous job performing the operation, and for the status
              becoming "operating" (or in addition "exceptions", if
              `allow_status_exceptions` was set.

            reached the desired status, after the HMC operation has completed.
            The special value 0 means that no timeout is set. `None` means that
            the default status timeout of the session is used.
            If the timeout expires when `wait_for_completion=True`, a
            :exc:`~zhmcclient.StatusTimeout` is raised.

          allow_status_exceptions (bool):
            Boolean controlling whether LPAR status "exceptions" is considered
            an additional acceptable end status when `wait_for_completion` is
            set.

          secure_boot (bool):
            Boolean controlling whether the system checks the software
            signature of what is loaded against what the distributor signed it
            with.

            If `True` or `None`, it is not passed to the HMC, and the HMC
            default of `True` will be used if the LPAR is on a z14 with
            SE version 2.14.1 or higher.
            Requires the LPAR to be on a z14 with SE version 2.14.1 or higher.

        Returns:

          `None` or :class:`~zhmcclient.Job`:

            If `wait_for_completion` is `True`, returns `None`.

            If `wait_for_completion` is `False`, returns a
            :class:`~zhmcclient.Job` object representing the asynchronously
            executing job on the HMC.
            This job does not support cancellation.

          secure_boot (bool):
            Boolean controlling whether the system checks the software
            signature of what is loaded against what the distributor signed it
            with.
            If `False` or `None`, it is not passed to the HMC, and the

            omitted from the results. If `None`, no such filtering is
            performed.

            omitted from the results. If `None`, no such filtering is
            performed.

          is_held(bool): Limit the returned messages to only held (if `True`)
            or only non-held (if `False`) messages. If `None`, no such filtering
            is performed.

          is_priority(bool): Limit the returned messages to only priority (if
            `True`) or non-priority (if `False`) messages. If `None`, no such
            filtering is performed.

          max_messages(int): Limits the returned messages to the specified
            maximum number, starting from the begin of the sequence numbers
            in the result that would otherwise be returned.
            If 0, no such filtering is performed.

            Timeout in seconds, for waiting for completion of the asynchronous

            timeout is set. `None` means that the default async operation
