Perform a transfer of control (TOC) reset
You can perform a transfer of control (TOC) reset by using the management processor TC
command, as described in the following procedure.
If crash dump is configured for the operating system on the nPartition and you TOC the
nPartition while it is running the operating system, then the nPartition performs a crash
dump.
Performing a transfer of control (TOC) reset [management processor]
Use the Command menu TC command to perform a transfer-of-control (TOC) reset of an
nPartition.
Step 1. Login to the management processor and enter CM to access the Command Menu.
Step 2. At the Command menu, enter the TC command, specify which nPartition is to be reset,
and confirm whether to TOC the nPartition.
The TC command performs a transfer-of-control reset on the specified nPartition.
If you are accessing the management processor using a single-partition-user account,
then the TC command selects which nPartition is to be reset: the nPartition that your
account allows you to access.
If using an operator or administrator account, you can select which nPartitions in the
server complex you want to TOC.
Be certain to select the correct nPartition to be reset.
