9.5.6 Performing tasks against a 2-node system
After the 2-node system (complex) has been discovered and a platform agent has been
installed onto the scaled system, you can perform the following additional tasks:
Power control of the complex
Capability to view the inventory of the complex
System identification
Firmware management of the complex using Update Manager
We demonstrate several of these tasks in the following sections.
Complex power control via IBM Systems Director 6.2.x
Many methods are available to control power to a scaled system within IBM Systems Director.
You can perform the power on and off functions against the following objects from within the
console:
IMM (when it is not configured as part of a complex)
Scalable partition
Operating system
In most instances, use the operating system object to control the power of the complex unless
an operating system has not been installed. Use the following procedure to power on a
complex via IBM Systems Director using the operating system object:
1. Select Navigate Resources All Systems in the Groups (View Members) view.
Right-click the respective operating system object and select Power On/Off Power On,
as shown in Figure 9-40 on page 489.
Partitioning: You cannot control the partitioning of a complex via IBM Systems Director.
You must use the IMM or the AMM where applicable. You can, however, launch the IMM or
AMM web interface via IBM Systems Director.
