4. In the navigation pane, click Scalable Partitioning, and then click Manage
Partition(s). Use the Scalable Complex Management page to create, delete,
control, and view scalable partitions. Select the primary node; then,
automatically or manually create a scalable partition:
v To automatically create a single partition that uses all nodes in the
multi-node configuration, click Partition Configure, and then click Auto.
v To manually assign nodes to the partition, click Partition Configure, select
the nodes you want to include as members of the partition, and then click
Create.
Note: To reorder the sequence in which the nodes appear in the diagram on
the page, click Redraw. For example, you can reorder the diagram to reflect the
order in which the nodes are physically installed in a rack. The nodes are
reordered according to the QPI or EXA cabling, with the node that you select in
the top position.
Partitioning an EXA multi-node system
This topic provides information about partitioning an EXA multi-node system.
About this task
There are two ways to partition an EXA multi-node system into stand-alone
servers: deleting the partition configuration and forcing a stand-alone boot. Both
methods are performed through the IMM web interface from the Manage
Partition(s) page, through the IMM in either server. The benefit of forcing a
stand-alone boot is that you can restore the original partition information by
clicking Undo.
Note: For instructions for creating, modifying, and controlling partitions through
the IMM Telnet interface, see "Using the IMM Telnet interface" on page 223.
To partition an EXA multi-node system, complete the following steps:
1. Connect and log in to the IMM web interface.
2. Make sure that the scaled system is powered off. In the navigation pane,
expand Scalable Partitioning, and click Manage Partition(s). Both nodes
should be indicated as stopped.
