Selecting LPAR manager firmware

Perform the following procedure for selecting LPAR manager firmware.
Note: For CB 520A A1 server blade, assign the LPAR manager firmware
version 01-10 or later. If assign the LPAR manager firmware version 01-0x,
the server blade does not operate properly.

this operation by using the [LPAR Manager] tab. For details, see the Hitachi

Hitachi Compute Blade 500 Series Management Module Setup Guide
Set the IP addresses and default gateways for LPAR manager and the
management module so that they are in the same network.
[LPAR manager firmware version 01-60 or later]
Set the IP address and default gateway for LPAR manager so that
they are in the same network.
If you do not use the default gateway when using IPv4, specify
0.0.0.0 rather than specifying a blank. If you specify a blank, LPAR
manager might fail to start. Note that if this item is left blank in
management module firmware versions A0260 or later, 0.0.0.0 is set.
NICs that can be specified as a management path are the NICs for
which shared mode is supported by LPAR manager. Other NICs are
not displayed as options.
To change the configuration of LPAR manager while it is running, for
the NIC used for the management path, change the scheduling mode
to shared mode. If you specify a NIC that is in dedicated mode, the
next time LPAR manager starts, the scheduling mode changes to
shared mode.
If the NIC is assigned to an LPAR, the NIC is unassigned from the
LPAR. In such a case, LPAR manager will run in safe mode, and you
will not be able to save LPAR settings or to activate the LPAR.
Make sure the NIC specified as the management path is correct, check
and, if necessary, revise the scheduling mode of the NIC and the NIC
assignment, and then turn off safe mode.
