What happens with the history data in the DCI GUI after an LPAR is removed?

Products

• Dynamic Capacity Intelligence

Issue/Introduction

When an LPAR is collapsed or consolidated into another LPAR, and that LPAR no longer exists, what happens to the data available in the DCI GUI?  For example, if an LPAR is removed from the DCI policy is the historical information still available or accessible through the GUI if that LPAR is no longer a part of the current policy? 

We have not yet gone through deleting the LPAR as we would like an answer to this question.  

 

 

Environment

Release : 1.5 and 2.0 

Component : DYNAMIC CAPACITY INTELLIGENCE

Cause

Customers may want to have access to historical data even after an LPAR is removed 

Resolution

Although not specifically documented, this is possible and has been done by other customers.  In some cases the data was available for a couple of years as long as the GUI itself was not changed.
