Configuring and Managing Superdome Partitions
Procedures for Managing Partitions
Chapter 4 193
To list a specific cell’s failure-usage and use-on-next boot settings, issue
the parstatus -V -c# command and specify the cell number.
Step 3. To modify a cell’s use-on-next-boot and failure-usage attribute settings,
use the parmodify command and specify the cell’s new settings.
Specify both the -p (partition number) and -m (modify cell) options when
using parmodify. The following example modifies cell 2 to not be used
the next time its partition (partition number 0) boots.
The parmodify command’s -m option is as follows:
-m cell:[cell_type]:[use_on_next_boot]:[failure_usage]
This option specifies the cell ID (cell) whose settings are modified using
the following arguments.
• The only valid cell_type value is base (base cell).
• The valid use_on_next_boot values for cells are:
y Participate in reboot (the default).
n Do not participate in reboot.
• The only valid failure_usage value for cells is ri (reactivate and
interleave).
For details, see the parmodify (1M) manpage or see “parmodify
Command” on page 211.
