Powering Up NovaScale 5xx5 Partitioned Server Domains
According to version, NovaScale 5xx5 Partitioned Servers are designed to operate as up to
eight hardware-independent SMP systems, or domains.
For easy configuration and optimum use of the physical and logical resources required for
simultaneous operation, domains are defined via the PAM Domain Scheme wizard. For
further details about domain configuration, see Configuring Domains, in the User's Guide.
The server is delivered with a default scheme, or configuration file, called
MyOperationsScheme-xx, containing up to eight domains:
• MyOperations-xx-1
• MyOperations-xx-2
• MyOperations-xx-3
• MyOperations-xx-4
• MyOperations-xx-5
• MyOperations-xx6
• MyOperations-xx7
• MyOperations-xx-8
This default scheme allows you to simultaneously boot all domains.
According to Customer requirements, identical or different Operating System instances may
be pre-installed on each domain boot disk (EFI LUN).
Notes:
• xx in the default scheme and domain names represents the Central Subsystem HW
identifier (from 00 to 15). For further details, refer to
For further details, refer to Checking PMB Code Wheel Settings, on page 2-4.
• Operating System type is indicated by the Microsoft Windows
or Linux logo in the
Domain Identities box.
• A Scheme comprising 4 domains is used to illustrate the following example.
