Abstract

This IBM Redbooks publication is one in a series of books that are written specifically for the IBM System Blue Gene supercomputer, Blue Gene/PTM, which is the second generation of massively parallel supercomputer from IBM in the Blue Gene series. It provides an overview of the system administration environment for Blue Gene/P. It is intended to help administrators understand the tools that are available to maintain this system. This book explains briefly the evolution of the system, from Blue Gene/L to the new Blue Gene/P. It details Blue Gene Navigator, which has grown to be a full featured Web-based system administration tool on Blue Gene/P. The book also describes many of the day-to-day administrative functions, such as running Diagnostics, performing Service Actions, and monitoring hardware. There are also sections to cover BGPMaster and the processes that it monitors. The final chapters of the book cover the tools that are shipped with the system and details about configuring communications with the I/O nodes and Power ManagementTM features.
