Configuring and Managing Superdome Partitions
Procedures for Managing Partitions
Chapter 4192
HP-UX You can use HP-UX commands to list and configure the use-on-next-boot
and failure-usage settings for cells assigned to any partitions within the
Superdome complex.
Step 1. Log in to HP-UX running on the partition.
You can log in to HP-UX on the partition either by directly connecting
with telnet or rlogin, or by logging in to its complex’s GSP and
accessing the partition’s console. Connecting through the GSP allows you
to maintain partition console access after HP-UX has shut down.
Step 2. From the HP-UX command line, use the parstatus command to list the
use-on-next-boot and failure-usage attribute settings for cells in the
Superdome complex.
Use either parstatus -C or parstatus -V -c# to list the cell attribute
settings. The following examples and text describe both these commands.
You can list and modify any cell’s settings from HP-UX running on any
partition in the Superdome complex. These settings may be reported as
follows.
•Ause-on-next-boot value of “yes” means the cell will be active as part
of the partition the next time the partition boots.
“Yes” is equivalent to a BCH cell configuration value of ON and “no” is
equivalent to OFF.
•Afailure-usage setting of “activate” indicates that the cell is set to
reactivate with interleave in the event of any failure during the cell’s
self test.
Use the parstatus -C command to list the use-on-next-boot setting for
all cells, which is shown in the “Use On Next Boot” column.
