7 Managing servers with VIOM
VIOM-internal operations during deactivation
When you deactivate management with the Virtual-IO Manager for a PRIM-
ERGY rack server, the following actions occur internally:
1. VIOM checks that the server is powered off by reading the power state
reported by the iRMC.
2. If a VIOM server profile is assigned to this server, the server profile is
internally unassigned and the VIOM virtualization data is deleted in the
iRMC.
3. The iRMC property that holds the information about the VIOM man-
agement station is cleared.
4. The VIOM-enabled flag in the iRMC is reset, indicating that the server is
no longer VIOM-managed. This action invalidates the VIOM inventory
data in the iRMC.
5. If a VIOM server profile was assigned to this server, an init boot is ini-
tiated. With this action the virtualization of I/O addresses is deactivated,
so the original manufacturer addresses are activated again. Also the
boot priorities set in the server profile are no longer valid.
