parperm(1M)

For OA Based Partition Management Systems

parperm(1M)

EXAMPLES

1) Remove nPartition conﬁguration restriction (unrestrict) from an OS running in nPartition 1, ena-

bling it to perform nPartition conﬁguration operations on nPartitions other than nPartition 1.

parperm npar on 1

2) Remove nPartition conﬁguration restriction from an OS running in a virtual partition 1 of nParti-

tion 2, enabling it to perform nPartition operations on nPartitions other than nPartition 2.

parperm npar on 2:1

3) An OS running in a virtual partition 1 of nPartition 2 remains restricted if only the nPartition 2 is

unrestricted.

parperm npar on 2

Issuing this command does not unrestrict virtual partition 2:1. However, if virtual partition 2:1 is

shut down, and the nPartition is booted in nPartition mode later, the OS running on nPartition 2 is

unrestricted and can do nPartition conﬁguration operations on other nPartitions.

4) An OS running in an nPartition 1 or a virtual partition in an nPartition 1 is not restricted from issu-

ing nPartition commands on nPartition 1.

5) Remove restriction from an OS running in a virtual partition 1 of nPartition 2 to enable it to per-

form virtual partition conﬁguration operations on other virtual partitions of nPartition 2.

parperm vpar on 2:1

6) Unrestricting an OS running in nPartition 2 with vPar scope does not enable it to perform virtual

partition conﬁguration operations on other nPartitions.

For example, the following is not supported:

parperm vpar on 2

7) An OS running in nPartition 1 is not restricted from performing virtual partition commands for

nPartition 1.

8) An OS running in a virtual partition 1 of an nPartition 2 is not restricted from performing virtual

partition commands for virtual partition 1 of nPartition 2.

ERRORS

OA syslog contains additional description of errors encountered during partition operations. Users can

view the OA syslog from the OA using the SHOW SYSLOG OA command.

Error: System unable to accept partition commands

The above error message is printed out under the following circumstances:

• Attempting to run command from an OA other than the active OA in enclosure 1.

• System has been shut down (e.g. with POWEROFF XFABRIC, or ambient overtemp).

• The OA has not ﬁnished initializing.

In the above scenarios, please ensure the system and OA are completely up and you are running the com-

mand from the active OA in enclosure 1.
