If the merge was not successful (see “Verifying scalability and RXE cabling” on
page 61), the status message will provide information about the failure, as in the
following three examples:
SMP Exp. Module Partition Merge Status
1 Primary lower
2 Primary upper
3 Failed: BIOS version is newer than primary server BIOS
4 Failed: BIOS version is newer than primary server BIOS
SMP Exp. Module Partition Merge Status
1 Primary lower
2 Primary upper
3 Failed: BIOS version is older than primary server BIOS
4 Failed: BIOS version is older than primary server BIOS
SMP Exp. Module Partition Merge Status
1 Primary lower
2 Primary upper
3 Failed: Timed out
4 Failed: Timed out
An overall status message will then appear.
Partition merge successful
If the merge was not successful, the message will indicate the failure (see “Verifying
scalability and RXE cabling” on page 61).
For example:
Partition merge failed: No secondary SMP Exp. Modules merged
The message above indicates that the secondary chassis was not seen.
Partition mismatch: Expected partition 8-8, Actual partition 8-4
The message above indicates that one of the SMP Expansion Modules was not
enabled.
