5.3.4 Customizing the Partitions
Having selected the configuration (based on the number of switch boards or
frames in the system), chosen the layout you require (based on which nodes are
required in which partition), and selected that layout, the task of customizing
each of the partitions should be carried out. Figure 65 shows the SMIT menu to
Enter Customization Information for a selected System Partition:
Enter Customization Arguments for this System Partition
Type or select values in entry fields.
Press Enter AFTER making all desired changes.

Figure 65. Example of SMIT Screen for Customizing Layouts
Fill the fields according to the chosen configuration.
The first field System Partition Name or IP Address should contain the hostname
or the IP address for the partition that is described in the layout that is chosen
for customization. In the preceding example, this is
layout.1. It is important to
know which nodes are going to be in this partition. If you have an AIX Version
3.2.5 partition, this should be associated with the
hostname of the Control
Workstation so that it becomes the default partition. All the nodes in the
partitions that are not associated with the hostname of the Control Workstation
(that is, associated with an IP alias) are known as affected nodes. It is these
nodes that must be shutdown before applying the System Partitioning.
The second field PSSP Code Level refers to which version of the POWERparallel
System Support Programs will be running in the partition. Use the F4 function
key to obtain a list, then make the correct choice.
The third field Default Install Image should match the mksysb image that has
been set up to install the node. This may not be used now if the nodes are not
to be reinstalled at this stage, and the details can always be changed at a later
date by running the
setup_server
command.
The fourth field Primary Node should be chosen from the list generated by
pressing F4. Each partition will have its own primary node for switch operations.
