Booting and Resetting Superdome Partitions

Procedures for Booting and Resetting Partitions

Chapter 5 265

Step 2. At the GSP command menu, enter the RR command, specify which partition is to be

reset, and conﬁrm whether to reset it to ready-for-reconﬁg.

The GSP command menu’s RR command resets all cells in the partition,

performs any partition reconﬁgurations, and halts all cells at a

boot-is-blocked state, thus making the partition and all its cells inactive.

If you are accessing the GSP using a single-partition-user account, the

RR 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 this procedure to reset a partition to a ready-for-reconﬁg state by

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.
