How to dual boot AIX and Linux in a clustering environment    Tuesday, May 16 2006 @ 01:23 PM EDT Contributed by: sde This mini how-to shows you how to dual boot between AIX® and Linux® operating systems in a clustering environment, where available hardware resources are limited. The information presented in this document is based on actual experience. It should be used only by those who have some knowledge of system administration and skills in working with the IBM System p5™ (formerly pSeries®) architecture. There are situations when you need dual booting to make use of available hardware, or to use different operating systems to do performance analysis on certain devices. In the scenario explored here, we have an existing AIX cluster configured on IBM System p5 nodes with Federation and InfiniBand adapters to provide high-speed communications. The requirement calls for another cluster running Linux on POWER™ in which we prefer to use the InfiniBand adapters as part of the Linux configuration, since the Federation adapters are not recognizable on Linux and prevent booting.
