Performing the expansion unit conversion
Converting the expansion unit is performed by the IBM® service representative. After the expansion unit conversion is complete, the server should be powered on at dedicated service tools (DST).
You should receive the following documents back from the service representative, including the original printouts from the beginning of this procedure that have been updated by the IBM service representative and two new documents:
- LPAR Validation Tool output.
This output should not have changed as a result of the conversion.
- Disk configuration printouts for each partition.
- Parity set configuration printout for each partition.
- Description label locations printout for each partition.
- System configuration list printouts (from hardware service manager) for each partition.
- Partition information printouts from the primary partition.
- List of hardware resources that were replaced or moved during the conversion (Resource Conversions form A880 or equivalent list), provided by the IBM service representative.
- Cable migration worksheet (form A805), provided by the IBM service representative.
Use this information to assign the new bus numbers to the correct partition and to reassign or rename resources, as appropriate. Now that you have the new expansion unit, your next step is to perform resource management.
