Configuring upgraded systems

If you plan to add IBM® i logical partitions on upgraded Power Systems™ 8234-EMA, 9117-MMA, and 9119-FHA systems, you must enable the logical partitions. You use the Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI) to verify that IBM i logical partitions are enabled.

Shut down all logical partitions before you perform this procedure.
Note: IBM i is always enabled on 8203-E4A and 8204-E8A systems.

Follow these steps to configure the upgraded system:

  1. In the HMC navigation pane, select Systems Management > Servers.
  2. In the topic pane, select the server you want to access.
  3. From the Tasks menu, select Operations > Launch Advanced System Management (ASM).
  4. Select the primary flexible service processor, and then log on as admin.
  5. In the navigation pane, select Power/Restart Control, and then select Power On/Off System.
  6. At the bottom of the screen, ensure that i5/OS is Enabled, and then select Save Settings.
  7. Perform a full system IPL to activate the changes.
