5.Make sure that each chassis is in Standalone mode, which indicates that the system is now partitioned into two independent systems.

Using the IMM Telnet interface

You can create, modify, and control partitions through the IMM Telnet interface. To use the IMM Telnet interface, log in to the IMM Telnet interface on either node and use the scale command for multi-node control and configuration.

To display scale information, in the IMM Telnet interface, type scale at the system prompt. Information similar to the following example is displayed.

Node UUID: 92CF1100F19111DF8000E41F13E455FC

Node ID: 3c0d

Node SN:

Node Power State: off

Node Partition ID: na

Node Logical ID: na

Node Primary: na

Node Mode: na

Node UUID: C7C92400EE7011DF8000E41F13E454E4

Node ID: 8bb9

Node SN:

Node Power State: off

Node Partition ID: na

Node Logical ID: na
