2. Issue the command to list processor details.
• parstatus -C — Cell and processor summaries for all cells in the server complex.
• parstatus -V -c# — Detailed processor information for the specified cell (-c# where
# is the cell number).
NOTE: You must include the correct remote administration options when issuing par
commands (-h and -g for IPMI over LAN connections; -h and -u for WBEM/WMI
connections). For a complete explanation of these options, see the command description in
“nPartition Commands Reference” (page 89).
List cell configurations
Cell configuration details include the list of the cells installed in the server, and cell assignments
to nPartitions.
List the cell configurations in an nPartition-capable server using one of the following procedures:
Procedure 4-36 Listing cell configurations [nPartition commands]
From the command line, use the parstatus -C command to list cell configuration details.
1. Log in to Windows on the management station PC.
2. Issue the parstatus -C command to list details about the cells installed in the server
complex and their nPartition assignments.
NOTE: You must include the correct remote administration options when issuing par
commands (-h and -g for IPMI over LAN connections; -h and -u for WBEM/WMI
connections). For a complete explanation of these options, see the command description in
“nPartition Commands Reference” (page 89).
Unassign (remove) cells from an nPartition
Removing a cell from an nPartition involves unassigning the cell from the nPartition to which
it is assigned and, if necessary, performing a reboot for reconfig of the nPartition.
NOTE: Adding or removing cells from an nPartition will change the amount of memory available
to the nPartition, possibly significantly. You should consider how the memory change may affect
the amount of swap space necessary for the nPartition and if needed adjust the swap space size.
When not using remote administration features, you can remove any cell from the local nPartition
and can remove inactive cells from remote nPartitions in the same server complex. However, at
least one core-capable cell must remain in each nPartition.
The remote administration features supported by Windows nPartition tools also enable you to
remove any cell from any nPartition in an HP Integrity server complex. Still, at least one
core-capable cell must remain in each nPartition.
Reboot for reconfig guidelines for removing cells In some situations, you must immediately
perform a reboot for reconfig of a modified nPartition after removing cells from it. Performing
a required reboot for reconfig completes cell assignment changes and unlocks the Complex
Profile for the server.
