Using the IMM Telnet interface
This topic provides information about the IMM Telnet interface.
About this task
You can create, modify, and control partitions through the IMM Telnet interface. To
use the IMM Telnet interface, log in to the IMM Telnet interface on either node and
use the scale command for multi-node control and configuration.
To display scale information, in the IMM Telnet interface, type scale at the system
prompt. Information similar to the following example is displayed.
Node UUID: 92CF1100F19111DF8000E41F13E455FC
Node ID: 3c0d
Node SN:
Node Power State: off
Node Partition ID: na
Node Logical ID: na
Node Primary: na
Node Mode: na
Node UUID: C7C92400EE7011DF8000E41F13E454E4
Node ID: 8bb9
Node SN:
Node Power State: off
Node Partition ID: na
Node Logical ID: na
Node Primary: na
Node Mode: na
Creating a partition by using the IMM Telnet interface:
This topic provides information about creating a partition by using the IMM Telnet
interface.
About this task
Note: Before you create a partition, make sure that the nodes that you intend to
include in the partition are powered off and are not in any active partition.
You can create partitions through the IMM Telnet interface by using the auto
command (scale -auto primarynodeid) or the create command (scale -create
primarynodeid, nodeid) command.
You can use the auto command to create a partition that includes all the nodes in
the complex and specify the node that is to be the primary node. For example, if
the EXA system contains only two nodes, 3c0d and 8bb9, to create a 2-node
partition with node 3c0d as the primary node, type scale -auto 3c0d.
You can use the create command to specify the nodes in the complex that are to
be included in the partition. The first node ID in the argument is the primary
