PS:

Active Energy Manager

Select this choice to enable or disable Active Energy Manager Power Capping. If you enable Power Capping, the Active Energy Manager program will limit the maximum power that is consumed by the server.
Workload Configuration

Select this choice to determine how to balance between I/O bandwidth and balanced workload. Choosing I/O sensitive will get higher I/O bandwidth when expansion cards are used. Choosing Balanced will allow enough frequency for the workload while the microprocessor cores are idle.

IBM Systems Director 6.3.2 update to 6.3.6 or 6.3.7

因應客戶運用ISD 6.3.2些許時日,加上Lenovo不爭氣的Lenovo XClarity對於x3650 M5相關監測有些許問題,連原廠也說開發尚未成功 (PS:原廠release有一年多) .逼的IBM還是出了patch v6.3.7因應可以monitor x3650 M5但不release Full installation source.為了讓客戶ISD可以monitor x3650 M5想法子更新它囉～^O^

ISD update procedure :

step01. v6.3.7 // Download the zip file containing the update to the management server

step02. # smcli cleanupd -mFv -P “Platform=’Director'" // 先移除已存在ISD updates list

step03. # smcli installneeded -v -F // 指定ISD updates files
(PS:假若沒有加 -F (Force) ,import 後會跳出

ATKUSC210I This operation will install the updates listed above. To continue, type “1″ for yes or “0″ for no.

按下數字1則開始更新,反之則否 )

step04. # smstop && smstart && smstatus -r // 重啟ISD服務,才會真正更新,直到服務為’ Active ‘即OK

step05. # smcli lsver //確認ISD version

啟動服務 # /opt/ibm/director/bin/smstart
停止服務 # /opt/ibm/director/bin/smstop
監看服務 # /opt/ibm/director/bin/smstatus -r
查看Platform Agent版本 # /opt/ibm/director/bin/smcli lssys -A ManagementSoftware -i {Deploy-ISD-Agent-IP-Address}
移除所有下載的updates檔案 # smcli cleanup -av
