CHAPTER 3 Work before Operating System Installation
Reserved SB mounting requirements
For 1800E2/1800E, the Reserved SB must meet the following conditions regarding the number of CPUs:
- In a partition configured with one SB, one CPU mounted per SB is permitted.
- In a partition configured with multiple SBs, two CPUs mounted per SB are required.
If the above mounting conditions are not met, a message dialog box appears. This inhibits the setting of a Reserved
SB.
Notes
- The type of CPU on the Reserved SB must be the same as on the other SBs configured in the partition. An
SB that has a different type of mounted CPU cannot be defined as the Reserved SB.
- An SB with 8-GB DIMMs, 16-GB DIMMs, or 32-GB DIMMs mounted cannot be mixed with an SB having
mounted memory of another capacity in the same partition. This means an SB with 8-GB DIMMs mounted
cannot be set as the Reserved SB in a partition consisting of SBs having mounted memory of another capacity.
Neither can an SB with 16-GB DIMMs mounted be set as the Reserved SB in a partition consisting of SBs
having mounted memory of another capacity. Nor can an SB with 32-GB DIMMs mounted be set as the
Reserved SB in a partition consisting of SBs having mounted memory of another capacity.
Notes on Windows
At the first startup after an SB is switched to the Reserved SB in a partition running Windows, the operating system
may not start. Set Windows to automatically restart in the settings of the Reserved SB in the partition running
Windows.For details on the settings, see 11.4.4 Setting up the dump environment (Windows) in the PRIMEQUEST
1000 Series Administration Manual (C122-E108EN). Check the [Automatically restart] check box shown in
FIGURE 11.18 [Startup and Recovery] dialog box.
If the SB failure causes a suspension of business for the aforementioned reason, take into account the length of time
required for the restart. The restart will take twice as long since one restart is needed after the switching to the
Reserved SB and one restart for the subsequent initial startup.
However, the following workaround can suppress the restart request.
Workaround for the Windows restart
You can suppress the restart request only if the PRIMEQUEST 1000 series server has already set as the Reserved
SB.
Repeat the following procedure for all the partitions with Windows Server OS installed.
Note that no message requesting a restart is displayed on the screen even if an SB failure occurs during switching
to the Reserved SB.
1. After completing installation of the Windows Server OS, shut down the partition.
2. Remove the SB from the partition by using the MMB Web-UI. If the partition has multiple SBs mounted,
you can remove any SB. For details, see
configuration.
3. Add an SB as the Reserved SB to the partition. For details, see
a partition configuration.
4. Power on the partition. Then, start the Windows Server OS.
