HMC Standards

Contained here are the standards for defining new LPAR's in the Power5 architecture environment using the Hardware Management Console. These standards describe the information required to define the LPAR's and the format in which this information should be presented.

This environment utilizes the VIO server to virtualize the hardware I/O adapters to client LPAR's, thus allowing multiple LPAR's to share resources. Implementation of this type of environment requires extensive up-front design work and planning. Each hardware adapter must be identified to the VIO server and virtualized for use by each client LPAR.

To begin configuring this environment, build a spreadsheet to contain all frame and I/O adapter information, this spreadsheet should contain at least the following:

Frame Type:                                  Frame S/N:                                  System Name:                                  CPUs                                  RAM (GB)                                  CUoD CPUs                                  CUoD RAM (GB)

Much of this information can be automatically generated using the script "hmcparse.ksh". Example results from this script follow:

Configuring Virtual Ethernet Adapters

Configuring virtual ethernet adapters for use in Mt Xia's high availability environment requires configuration of multiple server side ethernet adapters as well as multiple client side adapters. Each VIO server will have one server side ethernet adapter that can be shared to all client LPAR's requiring virtual ethernet adapters.

This virtual ethernet information can be automatically gathered from an existing frame through the HMC using the script "virtualeth.ksh. Example output from this script follows:
