Initializing a frame

This topic explains how to initialize a frame after a new frame has been added.

After you add a frame in the HMC, it must be initialized before it can be detected by the managed system. Initialization of the frame consists of powering on all the I/O drawers followed by powering on all the managed systems that belong to the managed frame. The initialization time might vary depending upon your setup.

To initialize a frame, you must be a member of one of the following roles:

super administrator
operator
product engineer

To initialize a frame, complete the following steps:

In the Navigation Area, expand the Server and Partition folder.
Select Frame Management.
From the menu, click Frame Management.
Select Initialize Frame(s).
Click Continue.
