Install software required for asynchronous monitoring to each partition.
Make sure to install the required software below to each partition.
Otherwise, switching to the other node (partition) fails when a failure occurred.

HBA blockage function
For PRIMEQUEST 3000 series, iRMC/MMB and the cluster node must belong to the same network segment.
If they do not belong to the same network segment, the iRMC asynchronous function does not operate properly.
When setting up redundant iRMC by using Shared LAN in PRIMEQUEST 3000 B model, the administrative LAN of the cluster node must be separated from Shared LAN.
If Shared LAN is set as the administrative LAN, connection test status of own node may be TestFailed.
When configuring the cluster system using the extended partitions in PRIMEQUEST 3000 series (except B model), up to 4 nodes can be supported per cluster system.
If configuring 5 or more nodes in one cluster system using extended partitions, the iRMC asynchronous function cannot operate.
When configuring the cluster system using the extended partitions in PRIMEQUEST 3000 series (except B model), VGA/USB/rKVMS of Home SB must be assigned to any one of the extended partitions.
In the cluster system using the extended partitions, VGA/USB/rKVMS of Home SB must be assigned to any of the extended partitions (it can also be an extended partition not configuring the cluster system). If VGA/USB/rKVMS of Home SB is "Free" without an assignment, the iRMC asynchronous function cannot operate correctly.
For how to assign VGA/USB/rKVMS to the extended partitions, refer to the following manual:
PRIMEQUEST 3000 Series Tool Reference (MMB)
When configuring the cluster system using the extended partitions in PRIMEQUEST 3000 series (except B model), the iRMC asynchronous function may not operate correctly if an assignment of VGA/USB/rKVMS of Home SB is changed.
If an assignment of VGA/USB/rKVMS of Home SB is changed in the cluster system using the extended partitions, connection confirmation of the iRMC asynchronous function or panic/reset forcible stop may fail until the change is completed.
