nPartition Modification Tasks
The following tasks are among the basic procedures for modifying nPartitions.
• Assigning and Unassigning Cells
To assign (add) or unassign (remove) cells from an nPartition use the parmodify -p#
-a#... command to add a cell, or the parmodify -p# -d#... command to remove a
cell from the specified nPartition (-p#, where # is the partition number). From Partition
Manager select the nPartition, use the nPartition→Modify nPartition action, and select the
Add/Remove Cells tab.
Also see “Assigning (Adding) Cells to an nPartition” (page 179) and see “Unassigning
(Removing) Cells from an nPartition” (page 182).
• Removing an nPartition
To remove (delete) an nPartition use the parremove -p# command to remove a specified
nPartition (-p#, where # is the partition number). From Partition Manager select the nPartition
and use the nPartition→Delete nPartition action.
Also see “Removing (Deleting) an nPartition” (page 176).
• Renaming an nPartition
To rename an nPartition use the parmodify -p# -P name command to set the name for
a specified nPartition (-p#, where # is the partition number). From Partition Manager select
the nPartition, use the nPartition→Modify nPartition action, and select the General tab.
On an HP 9000 server you also can use use the BCH Configuration menu PD NewName
command.
Also see “Renaming an nPartition” (page 185).
• Setting Cell Attributes
To set attributes for a cell use the parmodify -p# -m#... command to modify cell
attributes for a specified nPartition (-p#, where # is the partition number).
From Partition Manager Version 1.0 select the nPartition, use the nPartition→Modify
nPartition action, Change Cell Attributes tab, select the cell(s), and click Modify Cell(s).
From Partition Manager Version 2.0 select the nPartition, use the nPartition→Modify
nPartition action, and use the Set Cell Options tab (to set the use-on-next-boot value) and
Configure Memory tab (to set the cell local memory value).
On an HP 9000 server you also can use the BCH Configuration menu CELLCONFIG command
to set use-on-next-boot values. On an HP Integrity server you also can use the EFI Shell
cellconfig command to set use-on-next-boot values.
Also see “Setting Cell Attributes” (page 189).
