24. Reload Processors in Block If Necessary
24. Reload Processors in Block If Necessary
Skip this step if the added block does not contain a processor enclosure.
1. Start a TACL session and log on as a super-group user.
2. At the TACL prompt:
>RELOAD (m,n), PRIME
where m and n are the processor numbers in the block you just added.
Processor numbers are assigned according to group number:
In this example, you reload the processors in group 04:
If the Added Block Contains … Then …
One I/O enclosure and no
processor enclosures
Skip this step. Go to 25. Verify Operations in Added
Block on page 6-38.
A processor enclosure, with or
without I/O enclosures
Perform this step.
Note. Ensure you have KMSF swap files of the proper size and location available on the donor
system after the reduction is finished. Otherwise, applications and processes on the newly
resized system might terminate. For information about KMSF swap files and their
recommended sizes, see the Kernel-Managed Swap Facility (KMSF) Manual.
