Scalable partitions There are two methods for creating and managing scalable partitions: v 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. v You can use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to configure scalable partitions. This section provides information and instructions for creating and deleting scalable partitions using 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.
