HP Superdome 2 Partitioning Administrator Guide (5900-2540, December 2012)

Setting blade attributes using the OA CLI
You can set the blade attributes using the parcreate or parmodify commands. For more
information about the parcreate command, see help parcreate. For more information about the
parmodify command, see help parmodify.
For example:
To add the blade in enclosure 1 slot 5 with non-default attributes to the existing nPartition nPar0001:
parmodify -p nPar0001 -a blade:1/5:base:n:ri:50%
The example overrides the default value for use_on_next_boot to n. This results in the blade
being owned by the nPartition, but not activated during boot. The memory configuration is also
overridden. By default, 87.5% is used as SLM and the rest is ILM. This example results in a blade
that is 50% SLM and 50% ILM.
Setting blade attributes using the OA GUI
To set the blade attributes using the OA GUI:
1. Select the nPartition from the left navigation pane, and then click Modify nPartition.
2. Ensure that you have assigned the blades to the nPartition. For more information, see “Assigning
blades and I/O bays to an nPartition using the OA GUI” (page 43).
3. To modify the use_on _next_boot attribute, expand the Blade Attributes section.

4. To distribute ILM/SLM, expand the Memory section. Select the blades to modify the SLM values
and enter the fixed or fractional SLM values. Click the Set Memory button to apply the memory
changes. See Figure 14 (page 48).
