Validating Console Groups 11-1
Chapter 11
Validating Console Groups
In this chapter, you run the CGValidator program to validate the groups of
console lines attached to particular AlphaServer GS80/160/320 systems. A group
is defined in Consoleworks as a set of console lines. Usually, all the lines in a
particular group are connected to a single AlphaServer GS80/160/320 system.
The CGValidator program displays all the groups defined in ConsoleWorks.
When all the consoles in a group are connected to the same AlphaServer GS
system, CGValidator displays a box next to the group. These groups can be
enabled for partitioning by checking the box.
NOTE: You must run CGValidator each time you change the configuration in
any way that adds or removes console lines to any system connected to
the SMC or adds or removes QBBs from any system connected to the
SMC. For example, if a system upgrade adds a standard I/O module
to a PCI box, and that standard I/O is connected to a terminal server –
the group has changed and needs to be revalidated. Likewise, if a
system upgrade adds one or more QBBs to a system, the partitioning
capacity of the group has changed and needs to be revalidated.
