3.2 Coexistence

In this scenario we lead you through the transformation from IBM CSM to IBM Systems

Director where both the CSM Management Server and IBM Systems Director Server coexist

on the same server. This scenario is more GUI driven and you can find many screen shots to

help you get familiar with the look of IBM Systems Director.

3.2.1 The cluster environment

Figure 3-2 on page 44 represents the current hardware and software environment configured

for the coexistence scenario.

The hardware and software levels used for our environment include:

򐂰 The CSM management server is installed on an AIX LPAR.

򐂰 Three additional client LPARs running on the POWER5 server.

򐂰 One client LPAR running on POWER6 server.

򐂰 The Hardware Management Console (HMC) is installed, operational, and managing all

systems.

򐂰 The required network infrastructure is in place and functional.

򐂰 The Network Install Manager (NIM) server is installed on the CSM Management Server

LPAR.

Table 3-1 on page 43 lists the details of the servers including function, software levels, and

hostname.

Note: It is imperative to collect CSM cluster information and import that information to IBM

Systems Director during the transformation, as shown in the Figure 3-1.

Table 3-1 Components in the coexistence scenario

Figure 3-2 on page 44 shows a graphical representation of the environment. The environment

consists of a CSM server that manages nodes from POWER5 and POWER6 servers. The

hardware management console for the POWER5 server is HMC1 and for the POWER6

server it is HMC2. HMC2 and VIO1 are added as hardware devices to the CSM server.
