Chapter 6. Reconfiguring the RS/6000 SP system

This chapter explains the tasks necessary to reconfigure your RS/6000 SP system. It provides the SP commands that you should use to add, delete, and modify your hardware.

Notes:

1. It is very important that you consult RS/6000 SP: Planning, Volume 2, Control Workstation and Software Environment prior to reconfiguring your system to understand the implications of adding, deleting, or modifying any hardware.

2. If you are adding any hardware to your system, you must ensure that your control workstation is at the highest level of AIX and PSSP that will be running on the rest of your system.

3. To learn more about the implications of changing IP addresses and host names, refer to the appendix titled "IP address and host name changes for SP systems" in the PSSP: Administration Guide.

4. For more information about configuring LoadLeveler, refer to IBM LoadLeveler for AIX 5L: Using and Administering.

5. To perform these tasks, you will need write access to the SDR and administrative and control access to the affected frame and slot objects in the hardware monitor. Refer to PSSP: Administration Guide and RS/6000 SP: Planning, Volume 2, Control Workstation and Software Environment for additional information.
