chvet -o e -k
<activation_code>
Where,
<activation_code>
is the Activation Code.
For example, if the activation code is
4D8D6E7A81409365CA1F000028200041FD
, enter the following
command:
chvet -o e -k 4D8D6E7A81409365CA1F000028200041FD
b.
In an IVM session, validate that the code entry is successful by using the
lsvet -t hist
command.
The following is an example of the command output:
time_stamp=03/06/2013 16:25:08,"entry=[VIOSI05000400-0331] CoD advanced
functions activation code entered, resource ID: CA1F, capabilities: 2820."
time_stamp=03/06/2013 16:25:08,entry=[VIOSI05000403-0332] Virtual I/O server
capability enabled.
time_stamp=03/06/2013 16:25:08,entry=[VIOSI05000405-0333] Micro-partitioning
capability enabled.
This ends the procedure.
The procedure does not require you to restart the blade server to activate the PowerVM virtualization
functions.
Note:
If you intend to restart the blade server after you complete this procedure, wait at least 5 minutes
before you restart the blade server, or before you power off and power on the blade server. This is to
ensure that the activation code is stored in the vital product data on the management card.
Replacing the FRU system-board and chassis assembly
FRUs must be replaced only by trained service technicians. Replace the system board and chassis
assembly. When replacing the system board, you will replace the system board, blade base (chassis),
microprocessors, and heat sinks as one assembly. After replacement, you must either update the system
with the latest firmware or restore the pre-existing firmware that the customer provides on a diskette or
CD image.
Note:
See “System-board layouts” on page 8 for more information on the locations of the connectors and
LEDs on the system board.
Perform the following procedure to replace the system-board and chassis assembly.
1.
Read the Safety topic and the “Installation guidelines” on page 233.
2.
Is the blade server managed by a management console?
Yes
Continue with step 3.
No
Continue with step 5 on page 261.
3.
If the blade server has the Virtual I/O Server (VIOS) installed or utilizes more than one partition,
back up partition profile data by using one of the following methods:
v
If this system is managed by an Hardware Management Console (HMC), back up the partition
profile data by using the HMC. See Backing up the partition profile data (http://
pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/powersys/v3r1m5/topic/p7hbm/backupprofdata.htm).
v
If this system is managed by an Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM), back up the partition
profile data. Using the IVM command line, enter the
bkprofdata
command. For more information
about the
bkprofdata
command, see IVM bkprofdata command (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/
infocenter/powersys/v3r1m5/topic/p7hcg/bkprofdata.htm).
Note:
Although the HMC management console automatically saves partition profile data, which is
used for recovery in step 18 on page 262, the manual backup completed in step 3 is recommended as
a precaution and best practice before system board replacement.
