Smart Configure In N+M Cold Standby - Hitachi Compute Blade 2000 User Manual

Smart Configure in N+M cold standby

In the N+M cold standby, configuration information on active partitions is acquired in
advance and stored in the management module.
During N+M failover, the configuration information stored in the management module
is set to the standby partition to be restarted. With the pxe method, Smart Configure
is performed during the above acquisition and setting, while with the inline method,
Smart Configure is not performed because the setting information is set to the
standby partition during the power on.
Configuration information on the active partitions must be acquired by the Smart
Configure, when the N+M cold standby is implemented. That is not when N+M
failover occurs.
This is because failing partitions may not be able to perform Smart Configure.
