Configuring
scalable
partitions
The
Scalable
Systems
Manager
program
is
an
extension
to
IBM
Director
that
provides
a
graphical
user
interface
for
creating
and
managing
scalable
partitions.
See
the
Scalable
Systems
Manager
Installation
and
Users
Guide
for
information
on
how
to
use
that
program
to
configure
scalable
partitions
on
xSeries
445
servers.
You
can
also
use
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
to
configure
scalable
partitions.
This
section
provides
information
and
instructions
for
creating
and
deleting
scalable
partitions
through
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program.
Before
you
create
scalable
partitions,
read
the
following
information:
v
Before
you
can
create
or
delete
a
scalable
partition,
the
Remote
Supervisor
Adapters
must
have
an
IP
address
and
must
be
connected
to
a
network
or
to
each
other
with
an
Ethernet
crossover
cable.
This
connection
is
needed
so
that
the
Remote
Supervisor
Adapters
can
communicate
and
perform
the
necessary
functions
for
the
two
servers
to
create
or
delete
scalable
partitions.
v
When
creating
a
scalable
partition
consisting
of
an
RXE-100,
you
must
create
the
scalable
partition
initially
through
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
before
you
can
use
Scalable
Systems
Manager.
v
When
a
scalable
partition
consisting
of
two
servers
in
a
16-way
configuration
is
created,
the
DVD-ROM
drive,
diskette
drive,
keyboard,
USB
connectors,
mouse,
and
video
are
disabled
on
the
secondary
server.
v
In
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program,
Expansion
Port
A
Destination
and
Expansion
Port
B
Destination
refer
to
the
RXE
Expansion
Port
connection
from
the
expansion
enclosure
to
the
server.
v
In
a
16-way
configuration,
the
SMP
IDs
of
the
Primary
and
Secondary
Scalable
Nodes
must
be
different.
Creating
a
scalable
partition
Complete
the
following
steps
to
create
a
scalable
partition:
1.
If
you
have
not
already
done
so,
connect
the
RXE
expansion
and
RXE
management
cables
between
the
server
and
the
remote
expansion
enclosure.
See
for
information
about
RXE
cabling.
2.
Start
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program.
3.
From
the
main
menu,
select
Advanced
Setup.
4.
Select
Scalable
Partition
Settings.
5.
Select
Create
Scalable
Partition
Settings.
6.
For
4-way
and
8-way
single
chassis
configurations,
complete
the
following
steps:
a.
Select
1
x445
chassis
as
the
Scalable
System
Configuration.
b.
Select
the
number
of
PCI-X
slots
available
to
the
RXE
Expansion
Port
in
the
remote
expansion
enclosure.
The
following
choices
are
available:
0
-
No
PCI-X
slots
are
assigned
to
the
RXE
Expansion
Port.
6
-
Only
six
of
the
12
slots
are
assigned
to
the
RXE
Expansion
Port.
12
-
All
12
PCI-X
slots
are
assigned
to
the
RXE
Expansion
Port.
