The MAC address to a parameter file for disk duplication of the DPM

management server should be the same as the MAC address of a NIC registered

at the top of the EFI Boot Order.

LPAR reboots five times at the disk duplicate installation as Basic does. If

executing one of the following before five reboots are completed, automatic

reboots stops, and DPM will halt while still operating. Then follow the two

instructions.

Do not connect to the guest console from the LPAR manager screen.

Do not connect via the remote desktop.

The LPAR to be a master client and LPAR to be a target client should have the

same number of ports for a Fibre-channel (FC), even if any LU is not assigned to

the LPARs. If they are not the same, the installation might fail. FC assignment can

be executed on the PCI Device Assignment screen.

For other conditions including the LU size, see the manual

ServerConductor/Deployment Manager.

The progress status report displayed on the remote console might have disturbed

characters. DPM will operate properly regardless of the symptom.
