pardefault(1M)

For OA Based Partition Management Systems

pardefault(1M)

NAME

pardefault - display or change default values of certain nPartition attributes

SYNOPSIS

pardefault

[-t os_name][-G memtype

:size][-L slm_value][-O os_name][-R [os_name]]

[

-T hyper_thread_ﬂag][

-V ﬂag]

Remarks

The

pardefault command is only supported on systems with Onboard Administrator (OA) based parti-

tion management.

DESCRIPTION

pardefault allows the user to change the current default values of certain generic nPartition attri-

butes or attributes speciﬁc to an operating system (OS) type.

Note that generic nPartition attributes are maintained independently for each supported OS type to pro-

vide better conﬁguration ﬂexibility. This means that an OS type will always be selected during nPartition

creation, with the default OS type being used if none is explicitly selected.

pardefault without any options will display the original and current default settings.

pardefault

with only the -t option will display the original and current default settings for the target OS.

pardefault -R will reset all the default settings to their original defaults. If target OS is speciﬁed,

then only the defaults of the target OS will be reset.

When the command is invoked from the Onboard Administrator (OA), it requires operator privilege level

or above.

Please refer to the HP Superdome 2 Partitioning Administrator Guide for a description of the partition

management terms used in this man page.

Options and Arguments

pardefault recognizes the following command line options and arguments:

-t os_name Speciﬁes the target OS type for which the default is displayed or changed. The

valid string for os_name is the same as those supported by the parcreate com-

mand, for example, HPUX_11iV3 (case insensitive). See the

-O option in

parcreate (1M).

The defaults speciﬁed using the remaining

pardefault options (except -O) will

be applied to any nPartition created subsequently with this OS type. If the

-t

option is not speciﬁed, the default value is changed for all subsequently created

nPartitions independent of the OS type, and this value is updated for each sup-

ported OS type.

Note: The

-t and -O options are mutually exclusive.

-G memtype :size Speciﬁes the default value for memory granularity (ILM or SLM) for an nPartition

in megabytes. The valid strings for memtype are case-insensitive ilm and slm.

-L slm_value Speciﬁes the default value for the amount of non-interleaved memory per socket for

all blades in an nPartition. The valid values for slm_value are the same as those

supported by the parcreate command. See parcreate (1M).

-O os_name Speciﬁes the default OS type to use when nPartitions are created. This is applied to

any subsequent nPartition that is created. The valid strings for os_name are the

same as those supported by the parcreate command. See the -O option in

parcreate(1M).

Note that the

-t option is used to specify a target OS type for which the defaults

are to be set, whereas the -O option is used to deﬁne the default OS type to be used

when any nPartition is created.

Note: The

-O option cannot be used with any other options.

-R [os_name] Reset default values. os_name is the name of the OS type whose defaults are be to

reset. If no os_name is provided, all defaults will be reset to their original default.

The valid strings for os_name are the same as those supported by the parcreate

command. See the -O option in parcreate (1M).
