|
||
<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>
