<h1 class="topictitle1">Plan to convert the expansion unit</h1>
|

|
|
<div><p>An expansion unit conversion causes the following changes to the
|
|||
|
|
server resources.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p></p>
|
|||
|
|
<ul><li>The converted expansion units report in to the system with new bus numbers.
|
|||
|
|
The new bus numbers are assigned to the primary partition by default and need
|
|||
|
|
to be assigned to the correct partition before the partition can be powered
|
|||
|
|
on. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> A 5065 expansion unit contains only one bus. After the conversion,
|
|||
|
|
the 5074 expansion unit has two buses reporting in to the system. A 5066 expansion
|
|||
|
|
unit contains two buses. After the conversion, four buses report in to the
|
|||
|
|
system. The combined function I/O processors in the 5065 or 5066 expansion
|
|||
|
|
units are replaced with new combined function I/O processors and these are
|
|||
|
|
positioned as planned with the LPAR Validation Tool (LVT). Significant I/O
|
|||
|
|
rearrangement may occur with this conversion.</div>
|
|||
|
|
</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Nonconverted 5065 and older SPD-based expansion units may have bus numbering
|
|||
|
|
changes if the converted expansion unit is removed. Read the SPD cabling information
|
|||
|
|
to determine if any SPD-based expansion units remaining in the configuration
|
|||
|
|
after the conversion obtain a new bus number.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Some new resource names may be created. The new resource names need to
|
|||
|
|
be reassigned or renamed as appropriate.</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
<p><em>Before you begin:</em> Before you start the expansion unit conversion
|
|||
|
|
or resource name planning, you need to have the following required items:</p>
|
|||
|
|
<ul><li><strong>Valid output from the Logical Partition Validation Tool (LVT).</strong> <p>Use
|
|||
|
|
the LVT tool with your IBM<sup>®</sup> marketing representative or business partner during
|
|||
|
|
the order process. Print the LVT output before beginning the expansion unit
|
|||
|
|
conversion procedures.</p>
|
|||
|
|
</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li><strong>A current backup of the data on all partitions of the server.</strong> <p>Use
|
|||
|
|
the GO SAVE option 21 procedure to back up all partitions of the server. This
|
|||
|
|
is vital for recovery should you experience errors during the expansion unit
|
|||
|
|
conversion.</p>
|
|||
|
|
</li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
<p>The expansion unit conversion procedures help determine the partition to
|
|||
|
|
which the new bus numbers should be assigned and how to handle resource names.
|
|||
|
|
These procedures assume a familiarity with the iSeries™ server and a high level
|
|||
|
|
of experience with logical partitions.</p>
