|
<div><p>During a model upgrade or an expansion unit conversion of a partitioned
|
||
|
system (moving a partition from one server to another or changing an expansion
|
||
|
unit from a 5065 to a 5074), an SPD bus may be removed.</p>
|
||
|
<div class="section"><p>This has serious consequences to the LPAR configuration. SPD buses
|
||
|
are cabled in pairs and are numbered by the system on each IPL. This numbering
|
||
|
is done by determining to which port they are connected from the bus adapter.
|
||
|
When there are two buses connected to a bus adapter, the numbering of the
|
||
|
buses is determined as follows. A cable runs from the top port of the bus
|
||
|
adapter to the top port of the SPD bus; this is the first bus number. A cable
|
||
|
then runs from the bottom port of the SPD bus to the top port of the second
|
||
|
SPD bus; this is the next bus number. Finally, a cable runs back to the system
|
||
|
to complete the loop.</p>
|
||
|
<p>Due to the way these buses are cabled, they always
|
||
|
have the same bus number on each IPL. However, if the first bus is removed,
|
||
|
the second bus takes the bus number of the first bus. If both of these buses
|
||
|
are in the same partition, required LPAR configuration actions are minimal.
|
||
|
If the hardware in these buses is spread between different partitions or if
|
||
|
there is a required resource, for instance load source or console, LPAR configuration
|
||
|
actions must be taken before the partitions are powered on. The following
|
||
|
step should be performed any time an SPD bus is removed from a partitioned
|
||
|
system:</p>
|
||
|
</div>
|
||
|
<div class="p"><span>Determine if the bus to be removed will result in another bus being
|
||
|
renumbered. </span><ol type="a"><li><span>Use the following table to determine if the bus that will be
|
||
|
removed is cabled to the top or bottom port of the bus expansion adapter.</span></li>
|
||
|
<li><span>If the bus being removed is cabled to the <strong>bottom</strong> port
|
||
|
of the bus expansion adapter, then no buses are being recabled due to the
|
||
|
conversion of this tower.</span></li>
|
||
|
<li><span>If the bus being removed is cabled to the <strong>top</strong> port of
|
||
|
the bus expansion adapter, then determine if there is also a bus attached
|
||
|
to the bottom port (it will be one number higher than the bus being removed).
|
||
|
If there is a bus attached to the bottom port of the bus expansion adapter,
|
||
|
then there will be a bus recabled during this expansion unit conversion.</span></li>
