=head1 DESCRIPTION
This command is used to setup connections for FSP and BPA nodes to HMC nodes. If the connection already exists, it will not bread this connection.
This command is used to set up connections for FSP and BPA nodes to HMC nodes. (If the connection already exists, it will not break it.)
This command is useful when you have multiple HMCs, each of which will manage a subset of the FSPs/BPAs. Use B<mkhwconn> to tell
each HMC which FSPs/BPAs it should manage. When using this, you should turn off the self-discovery on each HMC. You also need
to put all the HMCs and all the BPAs on a single flat service network.
When -t is specified, this command reads the connection information from xCAT ppc table, and read the user/password from ppcdirect table. Then this command will assign FSP nodes and BPA nodes to HMC nodes.
When -t is specified, this command reads the connection information from the xCAT ppc table (e.g. the parent attribute), and read the user/password from the ppcdirect table. Then this command will assign FSP nodes and BPA nodes to HMC nodes.
When -H is specified, this command read the connection information from command line. The default user/password for FSP and BPA nodes are admin/admin.
When -H is specified, this command gets the connection information from command line arguments. If -P is not specified, the default password for FSP and BPA nodes is used.
In any case, before running this command, the FSP and BPA nodes need be defined with correct nodetype.nodetype value (fsp or bpa) and nodehm.mgt value (hmc).
Note: If a CEC (FSP node represents) belongs to a frame, which has a BPA installed, this CEC should not be assigned to an HMC individually. Instead, the whole frame (BPA node represents) should be assigned to the HMC.
Note: If a CEC (FSP) belongs to a frame, which has a BPA installed, this CEC should not be assigned to an HMC individually. Instead, the whole frame (BPA) should be assigned to the HMC.
