2.Have customer stop all current parallel jobs and suspend all parallel jobs on the job queue.
3.Make sure that the circuit breaker at the front of the switch assembly in the Off (`0') position.
4.Connect all cables to the switch assembly. Pay attention to the labels on the cables.
5.Put the circuit breaker at the front of the switch assembly in the On (`1') position.
6.Use switch front panel or the Eclock command to select the appropriate clock input for this switch assembly. For SSP code level 1.02 and higher, use the Eclock
7.If the primary processor node was changed during the isolation procedure, the customer can change the primary processor node back to the original selection; however, this is NOT required. The primary node is set by the Eprimary command. Refer to IBM RS/6000 SP: Administration Guide, for more information.
8.If the master clock was changed during the isolation procedure, the customer can select the clocks on all other switches; however, this is not suggested. (The previous clock selection for this switch assembly was recorded for possible use. See ªSelecting appropriate switch clocksº on page

Viewing switch partitions
Open the System Monitor window and click on the ªViewª option to display any partitions.
With switch partitioning, the nodes are grouped under a partition name. Partitioning allows the SP to have different software levels installed, and to isolate groups of nodes from each other. The Estart command, fault service, and applications see only a single partition.
Fencing nodes
1.Click on ªViewº to select one of the partitions, then click on ªSPº to display an options menu.
2.Click on ªGlobal Controlsº to display the frame(s) and node(s) in this partition.
3.Click on the node you want to fence, then click on the ªShutdownº option. Now click on the ªDo Commandº option to display options.
4.Click on ªFenceº and then click on ªShutdownº to shutdown the node.
Note: Selecting ªEnable Autojoinº during this sequence will automatically place the node back into the operations of the partition on successful power on of the Node. It is suggested that ªAutojoinº not be selected at any time when performing a service action.
Unfencing nodes
1.If necessary, follow the first 2 steps under ªFencing Nodesº above.
2.Ensure that the node is selected.
3.Click on ªOnº and then click on ªDo Commandº. This will power on the node and run
4.Click on ªUnfenceº and then click on ªDo Commandº to place the node into operation in the partition.
