7.6 Preparing for a native operating system installation
If you need the entire capacity of the Power Systems compute node, an
operating system can be installed natively on the node. The configuration is
similar to the setup for a partitioned node, but all of the resources are assigned to
a single virtual server.
The operating system can then be installed to that single virtual server, using the
methods described in Chapter 8, “Operating system installation” on page 317.
7.6.1 Creating a full node server
The process to create a full node server (also known as a full system partition) is
similar to the process described in “Creating the VIOS virtual server using the
GUI” on page 292. Complete the steps in that section to reach the point shown in
Figure 7-6 on page 293, and the window shown in Figure 7-30 opens.
Figure 7-30 Assigning all resources to a full node server
Complete the following steps:
1. Complete the fields shown in Figure 7-30 as follows:
–For Virtual server name, assign a node a name, such as fullnode.
–Provide a Virtual server ID, for example, 10.
