Managing nPartitions
Creating a Genesis Partition
HP System Partitions Guide: Administration for nPartitions, rev 5.1 261
If an nPartition is running HP-UX, you can shut down the nPartition to
the ready for reconfig state by using the shutdown -R -H command.
Or, you can put an nPartition into the ready for reconfig state by using
the BCH interface’s RECONFIGRESET command or using the service
processor Command menu’s RR command.
Step 4. Login to the server complex’s service processor (GSP or MP).
Login as a user with administrator privileges, which are required for
creating a Genesis Partition.
Step 5. Enter CM to access the service processor Command menu.
Step 6. Issue the CC command, select G for Genesis Complex Profile, and specify
the cabinet and cell slot for the cell that will comprise the Genesis
Partition.
GSP:CM> CC
This command allows you to change the complex profile.
WARNING: You must shut down all Protection Domains before
executing
this command.
G - Genesis Complex Profile
L - Last Complex Profile
Select Profile: g
Enter Cabinet number: 0
Enter Slot number: 0
Do you want to modify the complex profile? (Y/[N]) y
-> The complex profile will be modified.
GSP:CM>
You can confirm that the Genesis Partition was successfully created if
the CC command reports that the “complex profile will be modified”.
If the CC command reports “Sorry, command failed”, then the Genesis
Partition was not created, possibly because one or more nPartitions are
not at the ready for reconfig state. If this is the case, go back to Step 3
and ensure all nPartitions are inactive at the ready for reconfig state.
