The available disk drive locations depends on the number of SCSI interface cards installed in the SCSI disk-drive enclosure. If the next available disk drive position is the first slot in a disk-drive enclosure such as D21, D26, or D46, look at the disk-drive controller to verify that the enclosure is connected to a SCSI bus port.

This SCSI disk-drive enclosure can hold up 24 disk drives. The enclosure is organized into 4 groups, with each group containing 6 disk drive slots. The enclosure can be used as a stand-alone tower or a rack-mounted drawer. When connecting with your server, you can connect your SCSI cables to either a single initiator repeater card or to a dual initiator repeater card on your SCSI disk drive enclosure.

This creates a set of shared disks and a shared SCSI bus (such as scsi0) between Host A and Host B. The important thing to consider at this point is that you connect the cables in descending order of the SCSI address on the host adapter.

Chapter 3. Expansion units This topic provides information on setting up your expansion units, including connecting your expansion ™ units with Remote Input/Output (High-Speed Link) (RIO) or InfiniBand cables to your system unit. RIO and InfiniBand adapters enable expansion units to be attached to system units. This topic collection refers to both the remote input/output (RIO) and high-speed link (HSL) as the RIO.

This topic collection provides information about connecting your expansion units with RIO (remote I/O or high-speed link), InfiniBand and system power control network (SPCN) cables. This is a customer task. You can perform this task yourself or contact a service provider for this service. You should be familiar with the system, display, and keyboards.

Chapter 11. Upgrades You can migrate or upgrade AIX to a new release, upgrade your server model to a new servers model, or upgrade to a new hardware feature. Upgrade concepts Learn about supported upgrade paths, upgrade considerations, and upgrade terminology. An upgrade is the process of changing from one server model, hardware feature, or software version to a new servers model, hardware feature, or software version while retaining the serial number of the source server.
Page 356 The following timeline describes common stages that occur during an upgrade. The timeline incorporates the entire process from when you first start planning for an upgrade until the time when you have finished preparing your target server for production. Listed next to each stage are more detailed descriptions that describe what the stage entails and what must be accomplished when you have finished the stage.
Page 357 Table 26. Upgrade stages (continued) Stage Stage description Time required Preinstallation Tasks in this stage include the following: 1 day v Examine what you have done so far and determine whether you are now ready for the upgrade. v Gather all necessary server information for the authorized service provider.
Page 358: Upgrade Considerations
If you do not plan for the removal or replacement of unsupported I/O devices but realize during your upgrade that you have unsupported I/O devices, you must remove those devices, and perhaps replace those devices with supported I/O devices, which increases your timeline. v Unsupported software If your software is not properly planned, it might add several unexpected hours by forcing you to reschedule your upgrade to another time, or require that your upgrade be removed and rescheduled,...

Place your order with your reseller or authorized service provider after you have configured and validated it. Your reseller or authorized service provider ensures that your order has been properly placed and that everything is correct. They also ensure that you sign your contract. Your reseller or authorized service provider confirms with you what parts or features will be returned at the conclusion of the upgrade.
Page 363: Developing Your Test Plan
If your target server or partition has already been set up and you realize there is inadequate processor or memory, you can adjust these without having to re-create the partition. If the target server has fewer processors than the source server, you must adjust the configuration on the source server to reflect the target server’s processing resources.

The acceptance review is a meeting where you can evaluate whether the hardware configuration matches your plan.
Page 365: System Backup Requirements
System backup requirements Understand the options to back up your current server before you perform an upgrade. Before performing an upgrade, you can back up your server using a mksysb image or alternate disk installation. Before you perform any upgrade tasks, verify that you have a current system backup in the AIX environment of your rootvg and all of your data.
Page 366: Running The Aix Pre_Migration Command
Discuss your target hardware configuration with your reseller or marketing representative. Focus on any changes that you want to make because they need to be examined to determine if additional services are required and if they might cause any problems with the configuration. In the event that you experience problems during an upgrade, ensure that you understand your recovery or installation backout plan when reviewing your contingency plans.
