Connecting the Remote Supervisor Adapters to a LAN. 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 "RXE Expansion and Management Port cabling" on page 133 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. Chapter 4. Installing options 141

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.

“RXE
Expansion
and
Management
Port
cabling”
on
page

for
information
about
RXE
cabling.

Start
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program.
