Does each system match the prerequisites as described in 4.4, “Prerequisitesto create a multinode complex” on page 201? Did you provide the correct cabling at all nodes depending on the number ofnodes in your complex as described in 4.6, “Cabling of multinodeconfigurations” on page 209? Are you familiar with the Scalability Manager in the Remote SupervisorAdapter II as described in 4.7, “Configuring partitions” on page 220?Note: A partition or all partition settings cannot be deleted if any of the systemis powered on.
