Booting and Resetting Superdome Partitions

Procedures for Booting and Resetting Partitions

Step 2. From the GSP command menu, enter the BO command and specify

which partition is to be booted.

The GSP releases the selected partition from boot-is-blocked: the

conﬁgured cells proceed past boot-is-blocked and rendezvous to form the

partition. As a result of the BO command, the partition is active and no

longer is in a ready-for-reconﬁg state.

Any cells that are not conﬁgured (those with a “n” use-on-next-boot

setting) remain inactive at boot-is-blocked.

When the partition becomes active it proceeds through the normal boot

process: the partition performs, as necessary, the boot action set for each

of the boot paths (PRI, HAA, ALT).

If you use the GSP command menu’s BO command to attempt to boot a

partition that already is active, the command has no effect.

GSP:CM> BO
