Step 2. At the GSP command menu, enter the RS command, specify which
partition is to be reset, and confirm whether to reset it.
The GSP command menu’s RS command resets all active cells in the
partition and reboots them past partition rendezvous to BCH or HP-UX.
If you are accessing the GSP using a single-partition-user account, the
RS command selects which partition is to be reset: the partition that
your account allows you to access.
If using an operator or administrator GPS account, you can select which
of the Superdome complex’s partitions you want to reset.
IMPORTANT Be certain to correctly select the partition to be reset.
BCH Use the following procedure to reset a partition using the partition’s
BCH interface.
Step 1. Log in to the Superdome complex’s GSP, access the partition’s console,
and access the BCH main menu.
From the partition console you access the partition’s BCH interface. If
the partition is not at the BCH interface you must either boot the
partition or shut down HP-UX to return to the BCH interface.
