Setting BSM Plus or HCSM
The N+M cold standby function (selecting active/standby server blade) is set
by BSM Plus or HCSM. This setting uses BSM Plus or HCSM. For details, see
the document of BSM Plus or HCSM.
For settings, confirm the followings in advance.
• The N+M cold standby function must be enabled.
Both the active server blade and the standby server blade must be
enabled for the N+M cold standby function. For the confirmation
procedure, see Enabling N+M cold standby on page
• The active server blade must be booted by SAN in basic mode.
• The LPAR that is operated on LPAR manager of the active server blade
must be booted by SAN in LP mode. (LPAR manager is supported by BSM
Plus.)
After prior confirmation, set the N+M cold standby using BSM Plus or HCSM.
Note: When changing the LPAR configurations (processor, memory, and
device assignment), you must perform [F9]: Save Configuration in the LPAR
manager Menu screen. For details, see the Hitachi Compute Blade 500 Series
Logical partitioning manager User's Guide.
Testing N+M cold standby failover
Before starting operation, the N+M cold standby failover test is run by
operating the manual failover using BSM Plus, or by operating the test N+M
cold standby using HCSM, or by issuing the failover test alert using
management module console.

test will not be performed.
