Activating logical partitions for HSL OptiConnect
You need to configure and activate logical partitions such that they can participate in an HSL OptiConnect loop.
You must install the OptiConnect feature on all the logical partitions that use HSL OptiConnect. You must start the QSOC subsystem on each of these logical partitions. To activate logical partitions for HSL OptiConnect, follow these steps based on your System i™ model:
- On model 5xx
- From the Hardware Management Console (HMC), select Server Management and select the local partition profile properties.
- Under the OptiConnect tab, select Use High Speed Link (HSL) OptiConnect.
- For the change to take effect, activate each logical partition from HMC.
- On model 8xx
- Use the dedicated service tools (DST) or system service tools (SST) to configure each logical partition into the OptiConnect network.
- From the primary partition, set the communication option Connect to HSL OptiConnect to Yes for each logical partition (in addition to the primary partition) that uses the OptiConnect function.
