
Make sure to apply the same LPAR manager firmware version with the active partition
to the standby partition. If you apply different LPAR manager firmware versions to the
active and standby partition, N+M failover may fail. If LPAR manager firmware of all
server blades cannot be updated at a time in the system with N+M cold standby,
discrepancy between LPAR manager firmware versions is allowed as long as the LPAR
manager firmware version of the standby server blade is later than that of the active
one.
 Select a proper PCI error handling mode for the system configuration. If not, the N+M
failover may fail. See
 Partition configuration information to be taken over by the N+M
