(1) Setup for pre-configuring a server blade
To configure N+M cold standby, you must first complete the following server
blade setup:
Disable the internal hard disk: serial attached SCSI (SAS)
The internal hard disk cannot be used in N+M cold standby. If an internal
hard disk is installed, disable it in the BIOS setting. The internal hard disk
cannot be disabled from BMC's server blade Web console. It can only be
disabled using the EFI's BIOS Setup utility.
Do not move the EFI Shell to the highest booting priority in the EFI Setup menu. If
the EFI Shell is on the top of the boot option, the OS will not successfully boot after
N+M switching and failback.
(2) Enabling the N+M cold standby support function
Enable the N+M cold standby support function on both the active and standby
partitions, using the "PR Command". When this command is executed, the
partitions on which the N+M cold standby support function is enabled are
immediately Smart Configured. This Smart Configure allows an Optional
Physical WWN to be assigned to the Fibre-channel board, 10 Gb CNA adapter,
or 10 Gb CNA board.
Smart Configure is performed immediately on the
partitions on which the N+M cold standby support
function is enabled. This results in an Optional
Physical WWN being assigned to the Fibre-channel
boards. The Smart Configure execution time is shown
in "Time Required for - Smart Configure Execution".
The procedures in (1) and (2) above are mandatory
even for an N+M cold standby system built in LP
mode.
(3) Setting the SAN and FC switches
Partitions in Basic mode
For connection via fibre channel, set the WWNs and other settings on
the SAN. Use Optional Physical WWNs.
For connection via FCoE, set the WWNs and other settings on the SAN
or FCoE switch. Use Optional Physical WWNs.
Verify the Optional Physical WWNs using the "WWN Command".
For connection via iSCSI, set iSCSI settings including iSCSI Traget on
the SAN
Partitions in LP mode
Set the WWNs and other settings in the SAN. Use virtual FC WWNs.
Verify the virtual FC WWNs from LPAR manager's "Allocated FC
Information" screen.
