NAME

lsflexnode - Display the information of flexible node

SYNOPSIS

lsflexnode [-h | --help]

lsflexnode [-v | --version]

lsflexnode noderange

DESCRIPTION

IBM BladeCenter HX5 offers flexibility ideal that the blades can be combined together for scalability.

There are several concepts to support the HX5 multiple blades combination:

Complex: Multiple blades which combined by a scalability card is a complex.

Partition: A logic concept which containing part of the Blade slot node in a complex. Each partition can map to a system to install Operating System. Each partition could have 1HX5, 1HX5+1MD or 2HX5+2MD. (MD is the Memory Drawer)

Blade slot node: The physical blade which installed in the slot of a chassis. It can be a HX5 or MD.

A Complex will be created automatically when a multiple blades combination is installed. In this Complex, every blade belongs to it is working as a Blade slot node.

A Partition can be created base on the Complex, each Partition can have one or multiple Blade slot node.

The noderange in the SYNOPSIS can be a AMM node or a blade node.

ATTRIBUTES

The meaning of attributes which displayed by the lsflexnode. The word ‘node’ in this section means Blade slot node.

Complex

The unique numeric identifier for a complex installed in the chassis.

Partition number

The number of partitions currently defined for this complex.

Complex node number

The number of nodes existing in this complex, regardless of their assignment to any given partition.

Partition

The unique numeric identifier for a partition defined within a complex installed in the chassis.

Partition Mode

The currently configured mode of this partition. It can be ‘partition’ or ‘standalone’.

Partition node number

The number of nodes currently defined for this partition.

Partition status

The current power status of this partition when the partition has a valid partition configuration. It can be ‘poweredoff’, ‘poweredon’, ‘resetting’ or ‘invalid’.

Node

The unique numeric identifier for this node, unique within the partition. If this node does not belong to a partition, the slot number will be displayed.

Node state

The physical power state of this node. It can be ‘poweredoff’, ‘poweredon’ or ‘resetting’.

Node slot

The base slot number where the node exists in the chassis.

Node resource

A string providing a summary overview of the resources provided by this node. It includes the CPU number, CPU frequency and Memory size.

Node type

The general categorization of the node. It can be ‘processor’, ‘memory’ or ‘io’.

Node role

Indicates if the node is assigned to a partition, and if so, provides an indication of whether the node is the primary node of the partition or not.

Flexnode state

The state of a flexible node. It is the state of the partition which this node belongs to. If this node does NOT belong to a partition, the value should be ‘invalid’.

It can be ‘poweredoff’, ‘poweredon’, ‘resetting’ or ‘invalid’.

Complex id

The identifier of the complex this node belongs to.

Partition id

The identifier of the partition this node belongs to.
