Access the RSA II Web interface
The Remote Supervisor Adapter II (RSA II) is configured and can be accessed
through a browser. It has the following behaviors:
Each RSA II in any of the servers in a complex, has the scalability
management menu enabled in the Web interface.
The scalability management drawing in the RSA II in each node in this
complex contains the same complex and partition information.
You can use the RSA II that is installed in any system in this complex to
configure and manage partitions, provided all RSA IIs are configured and
available in the network.
To determine which system you are accessing, check the Scalability Manager
panel in the Remote Supervisor Adapter II Web interface and look for the
node that is flagged with Local.
Create a multinode configuration
After you create a scalability partition to get a multinode system, you can observe
the following behaviors:
All nodes of a partition in a complex can be managed as one system.
All nodes of a partition in a complex can be managed as single systems.
If you work remotely, you must be able to access each RSA II.
Start a multinode system
If you start a multinode system (after creating the required first partition), after all
nodes in a partition are powered on, you can observe the behaviors described in
this section.
Use any of the following methods to power on the multinode:
Use the power on/off button on the front of the server on the Light Path
Diagnostic panel, shown in Figure 4-28 on page 230.
Use the power on/off option in the RSA II Web interface, as shown in
Figure 4-30 on page 233.
Use the power on option in the scalability management menu of the RSA II
Web interface. See "Start a partition" on page 228.
Observe the following behaviors:
You can watch the merging process after a partition is started in multinode
mode on the window of each member in this partition, see "Start a partition"
on page 228.
