parmodify2(1M)
For OA Based Partition Management Systems
parmodify2(1M)
Options and Arguments
parmodify recognizes the following command line options and arguments:
-p nPartition_id Specifies the nPartition to be modified. nPartition_id can be specified either as a
number or a name.
As part of modifying the nPartition, the current partition specification (parspec)
associated with the nPartition is also updated.
Note: The
-p and -Z
options are mutually exclusive.
-Z parspec_name Modifies partition specification (parspec). When this option is specified, all other
command options are applied to the specified parspec and not to any nPartition.
The
-Z option applies only to alternate parspec. Note that the current parspec
associated with an nPartition cannot be modified directly. The current parspec gets
updated when the nPartition itself is targeted using the
-p option.
Note: The
-Z and -p options are mutually exclusive.
One or more of the following options must be specified with the
-p or -Z option:
-a blade :blade_path :[blade_type]
:[use_on_next_boot]
:[failure_usage]
:
[slm_value ]
Assigns the specified blade to the nPartition. To assign multiple blades to the nPar-
tition, multiple -a options must be used.
blade_path
specifies the blade resource path. It can be specified in short, medium, or long
format. For example, the blade located in enclosure 1, slot 3 is identified in
the short format as
1/3, in the medium format as blade-1/3, or in the long
format as enclosure1/blade3
.
blade_type
specifies the type of the blade. The valid blade_type value for blades is:
base This is the default if blade_type is not specified. A base blade in
an nPartition cannot be online deleted.
use_on_next_boot
specifies whether the blade will participate in a reboot. The valid values for
use_on_next_boot are:
y participate in reboot. This is the default.
n do not participate in reboot.
failure_usage
field is used by system firmware when an nPartition is booted. If a CPU
selftest failure or a DIMM de-allocation failure happens during the blade
activation, then this flag is used by the system firmware to determine whether
or not and how the blade should be integrated into the nPartition at boot time.
The valid failure_usage values for blades are:
ri reactivate with memory interleave. Specifies to integrate the
blade as it would normally be integrated. This is the default.
deconfig reactivate the nPartition with the blade excluded from activation.
slm_value
specifies the amount of the memory that will be configured as Socket Local
Memory (SLM) for the blade.
The slm_value specified using
-a or -c option takes precedence over the
slm_value specified using the -L option. The slm_value specified by -L option
is applied to all blades for which an slm_value has not been specified with the
-a or -m options.
If slm_value is not specified, the OS specific default is applied. The size of
SLM allocated is a best attempt to meet the user requested value. In addition,
depending on platform architecture, some amount of ILM may be allocated
even when 100% SLM is requested. The slm_value can be expressed in two
forms:
