Smart Configure Execution Triggers - Hitachi Compute Blade 2000 User Manual

Smart Configure execution triggers

Smart Configure is performed either manually or automatically to obtain or set
information in the following cases:
#
1 When the PC command or PR command is
executed
2 When N+M is switched or recovered from
N+M switching by BSM Plus
3 When the power to the system equipment is
powered on
4 When the partition configuration is changed.
5 When BMC (Baseboard Management
Controller) initialization is completed.
(*1) In the standby partition that recovered from switching, however, Pre-configure is
executed.
The following describes how Smart Configure is performed in each case:
(1) When the PCC command or PR command is executed
(a) PC command
You can use the PCC command to perform Smart Configure. This Smart
Configure is performed to maintain the partition setting information in the
management module after the partition setting is completed and SAN boot is
available.
(b) PR command
When the N+M cold standby aid function is enabled using the PR command,
Smart Configure is executed to set the Optional Physical world wide name
(WWN to the Fibre-channel board.
(2) At N+M switching, or restoration from N+M switching by BSM Plus
With the pxe method, Smart Configure is executed to set the setting information
of the active partition to the standby partition. When original partition settings
are restored from the N+M switched status, Smart Configure is executed in both
the active and standby partitions.
With the inline method, the setting information of the active partition is set to the
standby partition during the power on and OS is booted. Thus Smart Configure
is not executed at N+M switching. When a partition is restored from the state
after the N+M switching, Smart Configure is not executed to the active partition.
But Smart Configure is executed to the standby partition so that it can be
switched. Smart Configure with this trigger is automatically executed by BSM
Plus.
(3) When the power to the system equipment is turned on
When the system equipment powered off and on after the N+M cold standby is
configured, Smart Configure is automatically executed to recover the N+M cold
standby.
(4) When the partition configuration is changed
