Chapter 9. Management 473Complete these steps to discover and manage an x3850 X5 complex running a supportedoperating system via IBM Systems Director:1. Verify that your systems are configured correctly as a complex by logging in to the IMMweb console and navigating to Scalable Partitioning Manage Partitions. Verify thatthe values that are shown under System Partition Mode match the values that are shownin Table 9-2.Table 9-2 System Partition Mode status panelSee 6.5, “Forming a 2-node x3850 X5 complex” on page 235 for instructions to configure acomplex if you have not configured a complex already.2. Ensure that you have installed the x3850 X5 complex with a supported operating system.3. Discover and request access to the IMM to the primary node, as described in “Discoveringthe IMM of a single-node x3690 X5 or x3850 X5 out-of-band via IBM Systems Director” onpage 468.4. Notice that a Scalable Partition object and a Scalable System object appear in theNavigate Resources All Systems group view. Also, you can see these objects bynavigating to Navigate Resources Groups by System Type System x ScalableSystems Scalable Systems and Members. We explain the Scalable System and theScalable Partition objects:Scalable System Refers to the system containing all the physical nodes that havebeen cabled together.Scalable Partition Refers to a logical partition running on the scalable system. Oldergeneration multinode IBM systems scaled together can containmultiple partitions. Each partition can then run its own operatingsystem and function independently, even though it is physicallycabled to other nodes.5. The access statuses for these objects appear as Partial access, because you have not yetauthenticated to the second IMM in the complex.6. Discover and request access to the IMM of the secondary node, as described in“Discovering the IMM of a single-node x3690 X5 or x3850 X5 out-of-band via IBMSystems Director” on page 468.7. Wait one or two minutes before checking the access statuses of the Scalable System andScalable Partition objects. Their statuses change to OK, as shown in Figure 9-26 onpage 474.Discovery tip: To correctly discover and manage a complex via IBM Systems Director,you must discover the system both out-of-band via the IMM and in-band via the operatingsystem. A V6.2.1 or greater common or platform agent must also be installed.System Partition ModeStarted Valid MultinodeStarted Valid Multinode
