12 2.2 Managed System Setting This is the function for selecting and setting systems managed by the SystemGlobe GlobalMaster administration manager. Managed systems include partitionable servers and management PCs. With the Express5800/1000 series and the TX7/i series, prior to the partitionable server registration, the management PC information registration is required. 2.3 Partition Operation-Related The major functions provided by SystemGlobe GlobalMaster are for partitions. A partition is an important component for system management Creating a partition To build a system environment, a partition must be created. A partition is a combination of basic configuration units called cells. For partition configurations that can be built, depending on the partitionable servers to be used, there are limits on hardware. Refer to the hardware reference manuals, etc. Express5800/1000 & TX7/i series With the NX7700 series, TX7 series, Express5800/1000 series, basically, there is no limitation on the number of cells to configure for a partition (except for when the distributed clock mode of the Express5800/1160Xd, 1320Xd and TX7/i9000 series is valid). Therefore, depending on the required number of CPUs, memory capacity and the number of cells, cell configuration can be selected as you wish. However, to configure a partition, IORs have to be selected besides cells and the number of IORs has to be equal to or less than the number of cells. The distributed clock mode is one of the functions of the Express5800/1160Xd, 1320Xd and TX7/i9000 series and is a mode that is set to divide clocks supplied to cells into two modes of operation. With the SystemGlobe GlobalMaster, if the distributed clock mode is valid, a partition that has cells to which clocks of different modes are supplied cannot be configured. Also, each partition needs to be assigned a partition number between 0 and 7, and partitions with the same partition number cannot be created on a single partitionable server at the same time

13 For the details of the hardware specifications of the NX7700 series, TX7 series, Express5800/1000 series, refer to the reference manuals. NX7000/superdome Before registering NX7000/superdome as a managed system of SystemGlobe GlobalMaster, a Genesis partition must be created on NX7000/superdome. For how to create a Genesis partition, refer to the reference manuals of NX7000/superdome. When a Genesis partition has been built, register NX7000/superdome as a managed system from SystemGlobe GlobalMaster, change the settings of the Genesis partition that is an unknown partition, and register the partition definition information. Using this partition, the configurations of the second partition and partitions after the second can be created, or if necessary, the Genesis partition can be changed. For detailed examples of partition creation and configuration change, refer to Administration Guide Removing a partition A partition is removed. To build the same configuration again, a partition has to be created. Even when a partition is removed, the contents of the boot disks and other storage devices that were used for that partition are never deleted. Therefore, when you configure a partition again using the existing boot disks, there is no need to re-install the operating system Partition Status SystemGlobe GlobalMaster keeps information on hardware that can be configured as a partition (combination of cells, etc) as partition definition information until that information is removed. Even when a partition has been defined, it has not been created on the actual machine. The below illustrates the partition status

14 Create Partition Definition Partition Definition (No entity) Partition Creation Remove Partition Partition (Definition and entity) Remove Partition Definition Figure2-2 First of all, create partition definition information. Even after partition definition information has been created, a partition has not been created on a partitionable server. Secondly, create partition. In practice, using the created definition information, instruct a partitionable server to execute partition creation. A partition has now been created. To remove a partition, firstly, remove a partition on a partitionable server. This removes the partition from the partitionable server, but does not remove the partition definition information. Re-using this partition definition information, a partition in the same configuration can be created again. After a partition has been removed, remove the partition definition information. This removes all the partition information Overview of grouping function SystemGlobe GlobalMaster handles multiple partitions as a single group. Grouping partitions provide the following. (1) When changing a partition configuration in a clustered system, it can be changed in stages without shutting down the system (rolling upgrade, rolling downgrade). (2) By adding a partition in a load-share system (scaling out), the system load can be shared automatically. Some of the functions provided by SystemGlobe GlobalMaster are specific to particular groups. Such functions cannot be performed against partitions that do not belong to those groups Creating a group A group is created. Type selection is enabled for groups depending on their uses

15 Once a group has been created, its type cannot be changed. If a group type must be changed, make a new group, move all partitions within the original group, pass necessary information to the new group, and then remove the original group. As for group types, refer to the Group Settings Window section Removing a group A group is removed Before removing a group, all partitions within the group have to be moved, or removed. A group has to be removed when no partition exists in a group. 2.4 Boot Device-Related A list of information on boot devices related to partitions is displayed and corresponding detailed information can be referred to and updated. 2.5 Component Configuration Management-Related A function to manage component configurations The locations of components that have physical locations within a chassis are displayed and the physical locations for some components can be setup. Set values of the measurement values and threshold values of a component with a temperature sensor are displayed. The connection status of components with link port information is displayed. 2.6 Message Log Display -Related SystemGlobe GlobalMaster displays events such as partition boot and failure detection, etc. as messages in the event message part of the Main window as a message as needed. Also, messages can be stored in the administration manager and past messages can be referred to on the Message History Window. Furthermore, SystemGlobe GlobalMaster stores the history of partition configuration changes due to policy or schedule actions as well. This can be referred to from the Configuration Change Log Window. 2.7 Operation Environment Setting Using the following functions, the administration manager setting, etc. can be done. Administration manager setting information Password setting

16 Setup for linkage Corporation setting (SystemScope) Unlock Window Version and license display 2.8 Policies (Only For The Professional version) A policy is a collection of two elements: condition and action. When a specified condition is satisfied for a policy, SystemGlobe GlobalMaster performs a specified action that corresponds with that condition. A policy setting means creating a policy by combing these two elements. SystemGlobe GlobalMaster provides the automatic operation function using policies. Below is an example. (Case) In a certain partition, the rapid deterioration of the system performance due to a failure of an active cell needs to be avoided. In other words, when a cell has a failure, the system performance needs to be maintained temporarily by using a spare cell. In the above case, the condition and the action are as follows. [Condition] Cell failure (Event that a cell in a partition has a failure) [Action] Cell replacement (A series of actions that change the partition configuration using a spare cell that was prepared beforehand instead of a failed cell and boots the partition) With SystemGlobe GlobalMaster, items that can be set for conditions and actions are prepared in advance. Policy setting can be done by selecting appropriate items from those prepared options and then setting the details. Also, a single action item may be a series of actions with multiple individual actions, such as partition creation and partition boot. For the actual operation methods using policy configurations, refer to the Administration Guide as well. 2.9 Schedules (Only For The Professional Version) SystemGlobe GlobalMaster provides a function to perform actions at specific times as the schedule function. With the schedule function, the following conditions can be set

17 Items Specify Date Specify Weekly Specify Monthly Specify Daily Description An action is performed only at a specified time on a specified date. An action is performed repeatedly at a specified time on a specified day of the week. An action is performed repeatedly at a specified time on a specified day. An action is performed repeatedly at a specified time. Table 2-1 Note that with the schedule function, even when a repeated performance is specified, an action can be set not to perform on a specified day by setting an excluded day. As for the actual operation methods using the schedule configurations, refer to Administration Guide as well

18 Chapter3 Starting And Exiting The User Interface Window From this chapter, the user interfaces provided by SystemGlobe GlobalMaster, and their operation methods are explained. 3.1 Administration Manager The Administration Manager of SystemGlobe GlobalMaster is registered as a service at installation and executed at the same time the management station is started. To operate the administration manger, the administration manager user interface window must be started. 3.2 Starting The User Interface Window How to start the user interface window is shown below. (the case of Windows 2000) Windows Start Menu -> Programs -> NEC -> GlobalMaster -> GlobalMaster (the case of Windows Server 2003) Windows Start Menu -> All Programs -> NEC -> GlobalMaster -> GlobalMaster This operation displays the SystemGlobe GlobalMaster Login Window (refer to Login Window ). The following dialog appears if it is immediately after the management station start and if the initialization of the administration manager has not been completed, or if the administration manager service has been stopped. In this case, usually, if you re-start the user interface window after waiting for some time, the administration manager operation window appears. If the above dialog is still displayed after repeating restarts, check the operation status of the administration manager service (the service name is

19 GlobalMaster) by selecting Windows Start Menu -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services and if the service has been stopped, start the service and re-start the user interface window. If the service cannot be started, refer to the reference manuals such as Installation Guide (Manager Version), and Administration Guide, etc. 3.3 Exiting The User Interface Window How to exit the user interface window is shown below. Main window: Node -> Exit You cannot exit this window during communication with the manager or while the window is locked. Note that the administration manager is not terminated even when the user interface window is terminated. 3.4 Login Window This is a window to enter a password to log into SystemGlobe GlobalMaster. When a correct password is entered, the main window appears. When an entered password is not correct, the SystemGlobe GlobalMaster user interface window is not started. Figure3-1 Note that in the initial status where a password has not been set, the Password Setting Window appears. Following the instructions on the window, set a password. If a password is not set, the SystemGlobe GlobalMaster user interface window is not started

20 Figure3-2 For how to change a password after the second time or later and the password entry conditions, refer to the SystemGlobe GlobalMaster Password Settings Window section. Immediately after the SystemGlobe GlobalMaster service is started, the Login Window or Password Setting Window may be displayed behind other windows or the windows may not be active. If these happen, check if the SystemGlobe GlobalMaster window has been generated on the task bar of the Windows desktop and if the window exists, click the SystemGlobe GlobalMaster task on the task bar to activate the window. At the initial startup, set an encryption key when the Encryption Key Settings window appears. For the details of encryption keys and their setting window, refer to Encryption Key Settings

21 Chapter4 Main Window After the user interface is started, if the login is performed successfully, the Main window always appears first. This section explains how to operate the Main window of SystemGlobe GlobalMaster. 4.1 Main window Display contents of the Main window The Main window is composed of five areas: [Toolbar], [Tree View], [Details Display], [Event Message] and [Status Bar]. Also, the main menu is displayed at the top of the window (below is the Main window of the professional version). Figure

22 [Toolbar] The frequently used items on the main menu are displayed as shortcuts. The menu items on the toolbar can be switched between display and non-display from the main menu. (Refer to View Menu ) [Tree View] In the [Tree View], two major types of trees are displayed. One of them is the partition tree that displays partition configurations managed by SystemGlobe GlobalMaster, and the other is the system tree that displays physical configurations of systems (partitionable servers). These displays can be switched from one to another using the tabs. For details, refer to the About[Tree View] section [Details Display] In the [Details Display], the detailed information and status, etc. of the nodes selected in the [Tree View], such as a partitionable server, group, partition and various components, are displayed. Note that the details of the following information are displayed on different windows. For how to display each type of information, refer to the explanation of each window. Physical location formation (refer to Physical Location Information Window (Only For The Express5800/1160Xd, 1320Xd and TX7/i9000 series) ) Link port information (refer to Link Port Information Window (Only For The NX7700 series, TX7 series, Express5800/1000 series) ) Temperature sensor information (refer to Temperature Sensor Information Window (Only for the NX7700 series, TX7 series, Express5800/1000 series) ) About partition details display In the partition details display, definition information and operation information are displayed respectively. Also, with the Express5800/1000 & TX7/i series, hardware-specific detailed information is displayed. There is notabilia for the partition details display, and memory capacity and the number of CPUs on the Partition Definition Window. For details, refer to Display Of Memory Capacity And CPU Count. For cell display in the details display, * (asterisk) is added to a required cell. For details of required cells and so on, refer to the Setting a partition section of Administration Guide. Also, for partition system type in the details display, either Normal (for a normal partition), or Spare Partition (for a spare partition) is displayed

23 [Event Message] In the [Event Message], events from the administration manager are displayed as a message as needed. [Event Message] can be switched between display and non-display from the main menu. (Refer to View Menu ). As for the display contents, refer to Message History Window. Note that [Event Message] does not have the filter setting function and the message log storage function [Status Bar] In the [Status Bar], if an item in the menu is being operated, that is displayed. Also, on the right hand side, an animation that shows that item is being operated is displayed. [Status Bar] can be switched between display and non-display from the menu (refer to View Menu ) About[Tree View] Partition Tree(view) The Partition Tree (view) displays to which partitionable servers or groups all partitions on partitionable servers managed by SystemGlobe GlobalMaster belong, or of which components each partition is composed. The display contents can be changed by performing the operations below within the Partition Tree(view) panel. 1) Changing between Group display and Partitionable Server display The displays between groups and partitionable servers to which partitions belong can be switched exclusively. 2) Show partition configuration Under partitions, components that configure each partition, such as cells and IORs, etc. can be displayed. 3) Show unconfigured partition Usually, in the Partition Tree(view), only partitions under operation are displayed, but by selecting this option, partitions that are not under operation (unconfigured partitions) can be displayed. For unconfigured partitions, their components are not displayed in the partition view, but they are displayed as detailed information in the [Details Display]. By selecting a node on the tree and right-clicking on it, the menu items executable against the node are displayed. Figure4-2 shows display examples of the Partition Tree(views), which are respectively displayed by groups and by partitionable servers to which each partition belong

24 Display by groups Display by partitionable servers Figure System Tree(view) In the System Tree(view), for all components on partitionable servers managed by SystemGlobe GlobalMaster, either physical location tree which shows the installation status of components and their location relationship with a chassis, or logical connection tree which shows connection relationship with partition components is displayed. By selecting one of the options in the System Tree(view) panel, the display of the physical location tree and logical connection tree can be switched from one to another. As the logical connection tree displays the connection relationship of components, some components may not be displayed. Therefore, failed components and components in the alarm status are recommended to be checked in the physical location tree

25 Physical Location Tree Logical Connection Tree Figure4-3 For the icons that are displayed in the tree, refer to Component List About node display Each node displayed in the tree view is basically displayed in the following format. Node icon node name<additional information> status icon Depending on the node type, they are displayed as shown in Table 4-1 ( root in the table is a node that becomes the root when the whole managed system of SystemGlobe GlobalMaster is displayed in the tree view format. If there are partitions just under the root in the Partition Tree(view) by groups display, that means they don t belong to a group)

26 Node Types Node Icons Node Names <Additional Information> Status Icons Root SystemGlobe GlobalMaster Group Refer to Table 4-2 Group name <Number of partitions under the group> Refer to Table 4-3 (Including unconfigured partitions) Partitionable server Refer to Table 4-2 Partitionable server name Refer to Table 4-4 Partition Refer to Table 4-2 Partition name <Host name> Refer to Table 4-3 Component Refer to Table 4-4 and Component List Component name Refer to Table 4-4 Table 4-1 Below is further explanation of node icons ( Spare Partition in the table is a function of the professional version). Node Types Node Icons Status/Types Group Basic group Failover cluster (MC/Service Guard) Failover cluster (CLUSTERPRO) Partitionable server NX7700 series, TX7 series, Express5800/1000 series NX7000/superdome Partition Only configuration OS being operated OS stopped OS booting OS being shut down Failure occurred or being handled (panic, stall and performing a crash dump) OS Status unknown Spare partition (a yellow plus sign is added in the bottom-right of icons in each status above) Unknown partition Table

27 Information on groups (or partitionable servers) and partitions being actually created on the servers is displayed in the tree view. Also, the partition status is displayed with icons. Putting your mouse pointer on an icon displays a tool tip (pop-up help). The status icons displayed on the right hand side of the node names are shown in Table 4-3 ( Spare Partition in the table is a function for the professional version. Also, scaling up and scaling down are displayed only when policy and schedule operations are performed with the professional version). Nodes Icons Status Group Spare partition being operated Partition Scaling up Scaling down Failure component exists Temporary recovery 3 The operation is different from the definition. Displayed when the cell configuration of partition definition and the cell configuration under operation are different (not displayed when the scaling up icon or the scaling down icon is displayed). Table 4-3 Also, component icons that are displayed as configuration components change depending on the status as shown below. For example, a cell icon changes as follows

28 Status Icons Description Normal Cell icon Power off Status with the power of the component off. A normal status icon is displayed paler. Failure status Status with a failure in the component detected. Invisible Status of not being able to acquire component information (specific to the NX7700 series, TX7 series, Express5800/1000 series). Alarm state The component s environment sensor information is the alarm status (specific to the Express5800/1000 & TX7/i series). A red! sign is added to the side of the component name of that node. Abnormal subcomponent existing There is a subcomponent in the failure or alarm status. A pale red sign is added to the side of the component name of that node. Table 4-4 For the details of icons of configuration components, refer to Component List. For the invisible and alarm status of the NX7700 series, TX7 series, Express5800/1000 series, refer to the hardware reference manuals, etc. About component names With the NX7000/superdome, a cell component name ends in a numeric value in parenthesis and this numeric value shows the number of the cabinet to which that cells is allocated. Ex) Cell2 in the cabinet with the cabinet number of 1 is shown as below. CELL2(1)

29 About node name display status The node names that display partition names and component names in the tree view are usually displayed in black, but by changing the display colors, they show different status as shown below. Node Types Partitionable Servers Components Colors (including the partitions) Gray Configuration being changed Permanently disabled component Red Suspend Management Temporarily disabled component Table 4-5 Depending on the node type, the colors have different meaning. When the node is a partitionable server (including partitions) In case of configuration being changed, as the manager is changing the configuration of the partitionable server, operations against the corresponding partitionable server from the user interface window are disabled. Operations include, for example, operations against partitions on that partitionable server (OS boot, etc.) and operations against components (Power off, etc.) In case of Suspend Management, the manager is temporarily stopping the management against that partitionable server. This function is operated using the Suspend Management menu. This function is used to prevent automatic operations performed against partitionable servers unexpectedly when a failure component is being exchanged, etc. With the professional version, policy and schedule actions for partitionable servers under the suspend management status are all ignored. For example, when a policy is set for a partition or a group on a partitionable server under the suspend management status, a policy action will not be performed even if a condition to start that policy is satisfied. Similarly, when a schedule is set for such a partition or group, the schedule will not be performed even if the schedule start time comes. Also, if a policy or schedule is ignored during the suspend management, the ignored policy or schedule will not be re-performed even if the suspend management status is cancelled later. When the node is component (only for the NX7700 series, TX7 series, Express5800/1000 series) The permanently disabled status and temporarily disabled status are shown. For these types of statuses, refer to Disable Component Permanently and Disable Component Temporarily

30 Note that with the NX7000/superdome, the colors of component names of nodes are never changed. 4.2 Node Menu Create Partition Definition A new partition definition is created. Selecting Node menu-> Create Partition Definition on the Main window displays the Partition Definition window. If multiple partitionable servers are registered as managed systems, select a partitionable server on the Select Partitionable Server Window first. If a group has already been created, select a group first. Note that if a partitionable server or group was selected beforehand in the partition view, these windows for making selections are not displayed. For details, refer to the Select Partitionable Server Window and Partition Definition Window sections. Note that you need to register a partitionable server as a managed system beforehand using the System Management Settings Window. If no partitionable server is registered as a managed system, a new partition cannot be created Create Group A new group is created. Selecting Node menu-> Create Group on the Main window displays the Group Settings Window to let you make settings for a group.

On this window, either a From or To can be selected. For how to use this window, refer to the Settings of Date to Check section on the Schedule Check window. If the day when the settings are made is selected for From, depending on the specified time, the schedule may not be performed on that day

154 One Time setting The items for Detailed settings when One Time is selected for the action timing are explained here. With the One Time action timing, an action is performed one time at specified time on a specified date. Figure12-9 Activation Day is the date when this action will be performed. Clicking on the Select button to the right of the box displays the Date Settings Window in a calendar format and an Activation Day can be selected. A date can be selected from a range of the day when you are making the settings to a day within about a year. The time is the time when this action will be performed. If the day when the settings are made is selected for start date, depending on the specified time, a schedule may not be performed on that day when the settings are made. If One Time was specified, excluded days cannot be set

155 Weekly setting The items for Detailed settings when Weekly is selected for the action timing are explained here. With the Weekly action timing, an action is performed weekly at specified time on a specified day of the week. Figure12-10 Select a day of the week from the list to the right of Weekly in the Detailed settings area. Next, set the time in the boxes below the day of the week box. From is the date when this schedule will start. The actual start date of an action is the date corresponding to the specified day of the week on or after the start date. For example, if Saturday is set and if Monday, 1 st of April, 2002 is the start date, then Saturday, 6 th of April, 2002 will be the first activation day. To is the date when this schedule will finish

156 With the Weekly settings, settings for excluded days periodically (selecting days of the week) for the Excluded Day Settings cannot be made) Monthly setting The items for Detailed settings when Monthly is selected for the action timing are explained here. With the Monthly action timing, an action is performed monthly at specified time on a specified day. Figure12-11 Select a day from the list to the right of Monthly in the Detailed settings area. Next, set the time in the boxes below the day box. From is the date when this schedule will start. The actual start date of an action is the date corresponding to a specified day on or after the start date. For example, if 15 is set and if Monday, 1 st of April, 2002 is the start date, the 15 th of April, 2002 is the actual action start date

157 To is the date when this schedule will finish. With the Monthly settings, settings for excluded days periodically (selecting days of the week) for the Excluded Day Settings cannot be made Excluded Day settings Excluded days can be set when making settings for a schedule. Setting excluded days means setting dates when an action will not be performed from the dates set in the Detailed settings items for schedule setting. There are two ways to set excluded days as below. Select dates on the calendar window. Specify days of the week in a lump with Excluded Days Periodically. Excluded Days Periodically can be made only when Daily was selected for the action timing. Also, all the days of the weeks cannot be set for excluded days. Figure12-12 Checking the checkbox for Excluded Day Settings enables you to make settings in the Excluded Day Settings area. Clicking either the View or Edit button displays the Excluded Day Settings window. If the View button is clicked, the settings cannot be changed

158 12.5 Excluded Day Settings Excluded days can be set on the Excluded Day Settings window. Figure12-13 The first calendar to be displayed is of the month that contains a set start date. Clicking the Start Month button displays the calendar for the month that contains a start date. Clicking the Right arrow button and Left arrow buttons forwards and backwards the calendar respectively. Excluded days can be set from a range between the current dates when you are making the settings and a day within a year. The dates set for a schedule are displayed as Activated. Note that the days of the week set in the Excluded Days Periodically areas are not displayed as Activated. Clicking an Activated within the window switches it to an Inactivated, and clicking an Inactivated switches it to an Activated. Note that an action start date for schedule setting cannot be switched to an Inactivated

159 When all the settings have been completed, click the OK button. A new Activated cannot be added on the Excluded Day Settings window. Also, a date that corresponds with a day of the week that was set for a periodically excluded date cannot be set back to an Activated. Changing the action timing after setting an excluded day will lose the settings for that excluded day. Even if the same action timing is selected, the excluded day set before will not remain

160 Chapter13 Notabilia 13.1 Display Of Memory Capacity And CPU Count For memory capacities and CPU counts, values logically calculated from partition components are displayed in the configuration information in the details display on the Main window and information under the General tab on the Partition Definition Window, and may be different from the memory capacities and the CPU counts that are recognized from OSs actually being operated. Also, even in cases where CPU counts and memory capacities are affected during actual operations, for example, when a component has a failure, when a component is set to disabled (only for the NX7700 series, TX7 series, Express5800/1000 series), and so on, the results will show that these CPUs and memory capacities are displayed as if they are all incorporated into partitions as normal and at the same time enabled Power And Failure Statuses Of Components And Statuses Of Their Subcomponents When the power of a component is off, the power of its subcomponents may also be off. However, the power status will not change if the power status of the subcomponents cannot be acquired from the partitionable server (the icon of the component will not go into the Off status). For the failure status, subcomponents may have a failure but the failure status is displayed only if it can be acquired (the icon of the component will go into the Failure status) Disable Setting For Components (Only For The NX7700 series, TX7 series, Express5800/1000 series) Disable Setting for components and status of their subcomponents Disable setting for components of the NX7700 series, TX7 series, Express5800/1000 series are not affected by disable setting for their superior components. For example, if one component (Component A) is set to disabled, its subcomponents (Component B) cannot be used as well, but most of the time, Component B will not go into the Disabled status. Also, if Component B is set to disabled, Component B will stay disabled even if Component A is set to enable

161 Disable Component Permanently and Disable Component Temporarily To enable selection of enabling and disabling components for each partition definition with the component disable setting function of the NX7700 series, TX7 series, Express5800/1000 series, SystemGlobe GlobalMaster supports two statuses: disable component permanently and disable component temporarily. Both can be set only on the Main window. If a component is in the permanently disabled status, the component will always stay disabled regardless of the disable settings for the partition definition. This can be set not to use a component, such as a component that is suspected to have a failure, etc. even if it is used to configure a partition. Note that when you set ROW component permanently disabled, you should do it in a pair of 0/1,2/3,4/5,6/7. If not, the ROW component can be set to enabled by applying partition definition. Temporarily disable setting is affected by the disable setting for a partition definition. If a temporarily disabled component is not set to disabled for a partition definition, it will become an enabled component if a partition is created using that partition definition. This can be used to set CPUs, etc. to disabled for a particular partition definition depending on the software licensing statuses on the partitions. On the other hand, if there is a component that is set to disabled for a partition definition, the disabled component will go into the temporarily disabled status when a partition is created for that partition definition. (Except for when it was in the permanently disabled status before creating a partition) Clock Mode Of Unknown Partitions (Only For The Express5800/1160Xd, 1320Xd and TX7/i9000 Series) If the distributed clock mode is valid, as the clock mode of an unknown partition may be indefinite (cells with different clock modes are mixed), 0 is displayed as the default for the clock mode on the Partition Definition Window. With SystemGlobe GlobalMaster, as cells with different clock modes cannot be mixed when the distributed clock mode is valid, select an appropriate clock mode

162 13.5 Automatic OS Boot (Only For The NX7700 series, TX7 series, Express5800/1000 series) For a partition of the NX7700 series, TX7 series, Express5800/1000 series, the Automatic boot from EFI shell option can be selected for when booting the OS (including when creating and re-creating a partition). Set Automatically Boot Partition normally (check the checkbox). If this option is unchecked, the partition booting process will be stopped when an EFI Shell prompt is displayed. For the details, refer to Administration Guide Action When Performing Crash Dump When the operating system is notified that Perform Crash Dump was selected, the operating system immediately stops. If the settings for Perform Crash Dump have been made, it immediately starts to perform crash dump. At the same time, SystemGlobe GlobalMaster detects a stall of a target partition. However, if a policy is set to perform when it detects a stall of a target partition (=condition for system down), that policy will not be started even if a partition stall that was caused by an instruction to perform crash dump was detected Action of Policy Confliction When multiple policies are set within the same managed system, especially when policies related to partitions in a failover group are set, always specify Wait (default) for Action of Policy Confliction for all the policies

163 13.8 How To Connect Policy Conditions Figure13-1 For example, in the above figure, suppose they are conditions No.1 to No.5 from the top row, it means that Condition No.1 OR Condition No.2 AND Condition No.3 AND Condition No.4 OR Condition No.5 In other words, it means Condition No.1 OR (Condition No.2 AND Condition No.3 AND Condition No.4) OR Condition No.5. For simple explanation, complicated conditions are set in the above example, but that does not mean the combinations as above are recommended
