Powering on a scalable partition

When you power on a scalable partition, the servers that are part of the scalable partition are powered on, and the operating system is started on the scalable partition. If IBM Director Agent is installed on the scalable partition, it is started also.

Before you power on a scalable partition, make sure that the primary scalable node is unlocked in IBM Director and that all scalable nodes in the scalable partition have been discovered by IBM Director.
Complete the following steps to power on a scalable partition:
  1. Request access to the primary scalable node and unlock the physical platform:
    1. In the Group Contents pane of IBM Director Console, right-click the physical-platform icon and click Request Access.
    2. Type a valid login ID and password and click OK.
  2. In the Group Contents pane, expand the tree structure for the scalable system that contains the scalable partition.
  3. Right-click the inactive scalable partition that you want to power on; then, click Power On.
