5.1.1 Scalable Systems Manager Scalable Systems Manager is an extension of IBM Director that communicates solely out-of-band with the service processor in supported xSeries servers, like x455, to create and manage static hardware partitions. These static partitions are referred to as scalable partitions throughout the Scalable Systems Manager interface and documentation. The console component of Scalable Systems Manager is an extension to IBM Director that provides the following console tasks: Scalable Systems Configuration With this task you can view and manage scalable objects in a graphical user interface. Is possible to create and delete scalable objects, add and delete unassigned scalable nodes to and from IBM Director, insert and remove scalable nodes to and from a scalable partition, view information about and configure the remote I/O enclosures attached to a scalable node, and perform other operations on scalable partitions, such as power on, shutdown, and power off. Scalable Systems Discovery Create a manageable scalable system of the unassigned scalable and also update it to add unassigned scalable nodes. Scalable Systems Validation This task is used when you need to validate the cabling of the scalable nodes in a manageable scalable system. Note: The available date for the IBM Director agent 64-bit (Windows and Linux) and SSM plug-in is first quarter 2004. 5.2 The Remote Supervisor Adapter The x455 is equipped with a Remote Supervisor Adapter integrated into the system. See Figure 5-1 on page 178 for the location of the Remote Supervisor Adapter. Chapter 5. Management 177
