Reloading a Single Processor on a Running Server
cpu
is the processor number, an integer from 0 through 15.
cpu-cpu
is two processor numbers separated by a hyphen,
specifying a range of processors. In a range
specification, the first processor number must be
less than the second.
option
is one of these:
NOSWITCH
[PRIME|NOPRIME]
fabric
OMITSLICE [A|B|C]
$volume [.sysnn.osdir]
NOSWITCH
specifies that, when a processor is reloaded, there is no default
autoswitch of controller ownership to the configured primary processor.
[PRIME|NOPRIME]
Sets up the logical processor for the reload operation. NOPRIME is the
default.
fabric
specifies whether the X fabric or Y fabric is used for the transfer of the
operating system image to the processor during the RELOAD
operation.
0 = X fabric
1 = Y fabric
The default option is the X fabric.
OMITSLICE [A|B|C]
The PE on the selected slice will not be reloaded when other PEs in
that logical processor are reloaded. If you do not provide an argument
(A or B or C) the system will choose a slice to omit.
$volume [.sysnn.osdir]
specifies a volume other than $SYSTEM where the operating system
image (sysnn.osdir) to be used for reloading the processor is
located.
Depending on your requirements, this specification could take the form
of $volume or $volume.sysnn.osdir or sysnn.osdir or osdir.
*
specifies that all failed processors should be reloaded.
