Switching ownership of a tower’s switchable resources
It may be necessary for the local system to take or release ownership of a
switchable resource. You can use the Take/release ownership option on the Select I/O
Debug Function display to have the local system take ownership of a resource or
to have the local system release its ownership of a resource. Ownership of a
resource indicates which system controls the functions of a resource. Ownership
may be released only by the system that presently owns it.
The following procedure will direct you to switch ownership of switchable
resources in a tower from the current owner to the alternate system that can own
those resources. To perform this procedure, you must know:
v The system that currently owns the switchable resources in a tower. This is the
system that you are going to release the resources from.
v The alternate system that can take ownership of the switchable resources.
v The resource name of the high speed link (HSL) I/O bridge resource and the
HSL loop number on the currently owning system that will release ownership.
v The resource name of the high speed link (HSL) I/O bridge resource and the
HSL loop number on the system that will take ownership.
Attention: Perform this procedure only if you are not able to switch the ownership
of the resource using the HSL OptiConnect user interface. Cluster Resource Group
(CRG) problems may occur as the result of using this procedure when the HSL
OptiConnect user interface is available.
1. Determine the current owner of the switchable resources in the tower if you
have not already done so. (See the procedure “Determining the power
controlling system of a tower” on page 150.)
2. Move to the console of the system that is the current owner of the switchable
resources in the tower.
3. Sign on to System Service Tool (SST) or Dedicated Service Tool (DST).
4. Select Start a service tool.
5. Select Hardware Service Manager.
6. Select Logical Hardware Resources.
7. Select High speed link resources.
8. Select the function Include non-reporting resources.
9. Move the cursor to the HSL I/O bridge resource in the tower. Search for the
resource name that the currently owning system assigned to the HSL I/O
bridge resource.
10. Select the I/O Debug option.
When you select the I/O debug option on an HSL I/O bridge that has the
capability of being switched, the following screen is displayed:
