nPartition Administrator's Guide, Second Edition

3. From the BCH Configuration menu, use the CELLCONFIG command to list or set the
use-on-next-boot value for each cell.
To list the use-on-next-boot values for all cells in the nPartition, issue the CELLCONFIG
command with no arguments.
To change the use-on-next-boot value for a cell, issue the following command:
CELLCONFIG cell [ON|OFF]
where cell is the cell number, ON sets the cell use-on-next-boot value to "y" (yes, do use
the cell), or OFF sets the cell use-on-next-boot value to "n" (no, do not use the cell).
A cell that boots with a "y" (ON) use-on-next-boot value is permitted to rendezvous and
join its nPartition, thus becoming an active cell whose resources are used.
A cell that boots with a "n" (OFF) use-on-next-boot value does not rendezvous and thus
becomes an inactive cell whose resources are not used by its nPartition, although the
cell still is assigned to its nPartition.
4. Reboot the nPartition to use the cells' new use-on-next-boot settings.
If you have changed any cell use-on-next-boot settings for the nPartition then reboot the
nPartition in either of two ways:
Use the REBOOT command at the BCH interface to perform a reboot.
If you have only changed cell configurations from ON to OFF, then perform a reboot
using the REBOOT command. Any cells set to not be used will still be assigned to the
nPartition but will not be used (will not rendezvous) in the nPartition.
Use the RECONFIGRESET command at the BCH interface to put the nPartition in the
shutdown for reconfig state, then use the BO command at the service processor Command
menu to boot the nPartition.
If you have changed any cell from OFF ("n", do not use on next boot) to ON ("y", use the
cell on next boot), then you must perform these two tasks; this resets and reconfigures
the nPartition and boots it.
5. Exit the console and service processor interfaces if finished using them.
To exit the BCH environment type ^B (Control-B); this exits the nPartition console and
returns to the service processor Main Menu. To exit the service processor, type X at the Main
Menu.
Procedure 6-17 Setting Cell Attributes (EFI Shell)
From the EFI Shell environment, use the cellconfig command to list or set the use-on-next-boot
value for each cell in the local nPartition. The EFI Shell is available only on HP Integrity systems.
NOTE: Use of the cellconfig command at the EFI Shell is restricted. See the help
cellconfig command for details.
1. Access the EFI Shell environment for the nPartition whose cell use-on-next-boot attributes
you want to list or set.
Login to the service processor (MP or GSP) and enter CO to access the Console list. Select
the nPartition console.
When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main
EFI menu). If at another EFI menu, select the Exit option from the sub-menus until you
return to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select the EFI Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell
environment.
