Create a genesis nPartition
Creating a Genesis Partition overwrites all nPartition-related complex profile data for
the server and establishes one single-cell nPartition.
Creating a genesis nPartition [management processor]
Use the CC command and G option at the management processor Command menu to
create a Genesis Partition on an HP nPartition server.
As a result of this procedure, all existing nPartition configurations are deleted and are
replaced with a single, one-cell nPartition (the Genesis Partition).
You can revert to the previous nPartition configuration—if any existed before you
created the Genesis Partition—by using the CC command and L option to restore the last
configuration.
Step 1. Save all current nPartition configuration details, if any nPartitions are configured in the
complex.
Saving the current nPartition information provides you the details you would need to
re-create all nPartitions as they currently exist.
Use the parstatus -V -p# command (or an equivalent Partition Manager procedure) to
save configuration details about each nPartition.
For each nPartition, enter the parstatus -V -p# command to display detailed
information about the partition number (-p#) specified.
Step 2. Determine which cell will be configured as the Genesis Partition.
The cell must be connected to an I/O chassis. The I/O chassis must have a core I/O card
installed, and it should have a bootable disk (or a method for installing an operating
system and a disk onto which it can be installed).
Step 3. Ensure that all nPartitions within the complex are in the shutdown for reconfig
(inactive) state.
