Note: To reorder the sequence in which the nodes appear in the diagram on
the page, click Redraw. For example, you can reorder the diagram to reflect the
order in which the nodes are physically installed in a rack. The nodes are
reordered according to the QPI or EXA cabling, with the node that you select in
the top position.
Partitioning an EXA multi-node system
There are two ways to partition an EXA multi-node system into stand-alone
servers: deleting the partition configuration and forcing a stand-alone boot. Both
methods are performed through the IMM web interface from the Manage
Partition(s) page, through the IMM in either server. The benefit of forcing a
stand-alone boot is that you can restore the original partition information by
clicking Undo.
Note: For instructions for creating, modifying, and controlling partitions through
the IMM Telnet interface, see “Using the IMM Telnet interface” on page 114.
To partition an EXA multi-node system, complete the following steps:
1. Connect and log in to the IMM web interface.
2. Make sure that the scaled system is powered off. In the navigation pane,
expand Scalable Partitioning, and click Manage Partition(s). Both nodes
should be indicated as stopped.
3. Select the chassis that you are connected to through the IMM. The interface
control for the other chassis should be disabled.
4. Determine which method you plan to use to partition the multi-node server:
v To delete the partition, click Partition Configuration, and then click Delete.
v To force a stand-alone boot, click Standalone Boot, and then click Force.
