Managing nPartitions
Setting and Checking Cell Attributes
HP System Partitions Guide: Administration for nPartitions, rev 5.1 289
The reactivate-with-interleave setting allows a cell to actively join its
nPartition following processor or memory failures during the cell’s
self tests. The cell joins its nPartition if at least one processor and
any valid amount of memory passes self tests. Any of the cell’s
components that fail (processors or memory) are not available to the
nPartition.
After changing a cell’s attributes, the new attribute settings are used
starting the next time the nPartition and cells are rebooted.
Setting Cell Attributes [BCH]
This procedure (Configuration menu, CELLCONFIG command) lists and
sets a cell’s use-on-next-boot setting from the BCH interface for the cell’s
nPartition.
From the BCH interface you can modify only cell use-on-next-boot
settings.
Step 1. Login to the complex’s service processor, access the nPartition’s console,
and access the BCH interface.
From the nPartition console, you access the nPartition’s BCH interface.
If the nPartition is not at the BCH interface, you must either boot the
nPartition or shut down HP-UX to return to the BCH interface.
Step 2. Access the BCH Configuration menu by entering CO from the BCH Main
menu.
If you are at a BCH menu other than the Main menu, enter MA to return
to the Main menu and then enter CO to access the Configuration menu.
Step 3. From the BCH Configuration menu, use the CELLCONFIG command to list
or set each cell’s use-on-next-boot setting.
To list the use-on-next-boot settings for all cells in the nPartition, issue
the CELLCONFIG command with no arguments.
Configuration Menu: Enter command > CELLCONFIG
