8. Use the Create Scalable Partition Settings page to define the scalable partition. Perform this step to create a new partition. A page similar to the one in the following illustration is displayed. a. In the Partition merge timeout minutes field, select the number of minutes POST waits for the scalable nodes to merge resources. Allow at least 8 seconds for each GB of memory in the scalable partition. You can view the merge status on the monitor attached to the primary node. b. In the On merge failure, attempt partial merge? field, select if POST should attempt a partial merge if one error is detected during full merge. You can view the merge status during POST on the monitor attached to the primary node. c. In the Scalable Partition Number (ID) field, type a unique identifier for this scalable partition. Note: The Primary Scalable Node field displays the primary node chassis ID. d. In the Scalable Partition Members field, select the nodes that will be assigned to the scalable partition. You can select all nodes or select individual nodes. e. Click Create. 84 IBM System x3950 Type 8878 and System x3950 E Type 8879: User's Guide
