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.

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.
