Server Conductor/Deployment Manager

For the latest configuration of Server Conductor/Deployment Manager, see
the Server Conductor/Deployment Manager.
• Not supported for VF NIC.
• Clearing partitions on the disk of LPAR manager including "OS clear
install" is not supported.
• Network boot (PXE boot) of dedicated NIC is not supported.
• Boot configuration should be set as network boot (PXE boot) when using
Server Conductor/Deployment Manager.
• To check the execution status of a DPM scenario in an LPAR manager
environment, use the remote console. If a guest screen is displayed
during the execution of a DPM scenario, the execution of the scenario
might fail because of a network communication timeout.
• The MAC address to a parameter file for disk duplication of the DPM
management server should be the same as the MAC address of a NIC
registered at the top of the EFI Boot Order.
• LPAR reboots five (5) times at the disk duplicate installation as Basic
does. If executing one of the followings before five reboots are
completed, automatic reboots stops and DPM will halt still in the status of
operation. Then follow the two instructions.
(1) Connect to the guest console from the LPAR manager screen.
(2) Connect via the remote desktop.
• Both LPAR to be a master client and LPAR to be a target client should
have the same number of ports for a fibre channel (FC), even if any LU is
not assigned to the LPARs. If not the same, installation may fail. FC
assignment can be executed on the PCI Device Assignment screen. For
other conditions including the LU size, see the Server Conductor/
Deployment Manager.
• The progress status report displayed on the remote console may have
disturbed characters. DPM will operate properly regardless of the
symptom.

Server Conductor/Advanced Agent

In Linux, when a high load is continuously applied to USB storage devices
such as USB memory by using, for example, the benchmark measurement
tool, if the watchdog timer is set for Server Conductor/Advanced Agent, a
watchdog timeout might occur.

Power Capping

Slowdown of processor occurs when the value for upper limit of power
consumption is too low. Then Guest OS on LPAR might not operate normally.
Therefore check the processor performance on the Guest OS and set the
proper value.
