4 0/4 Alive Configured
6 0/6 Alive Configured
Configuration Menu: Enter command >
To change the use-on-next-boot setting for a cell, issue the CELLCONFIG
command with arguments: CELLCONFIG cell [ON|OFF]
For example, CELLCONFIG 6 OFF sets the use-on-next-boot setting for cell
6 to OFF. This causes the cell to be inactive (not rendezvous and thus not
be used) the next time the nPartition boots.
Configuration Menu: Enter command > CELLCONFIG 6 OFF
Are you sure you want to DECONFIGURE cell 6 for next boot?
(y/[n]) >> y
Cell 6 will be disabled during next reboot.
Configuration Menu: Enter command >
Step 4. Reboot the nPartition to use the cells’ new use-on-next-boot settings.
If you have changed any cell use-on-next-boot settings for the nPartition,
you should reboot the nPartition in either of two ways:
• Use the BCH interface’s REBOOT command to perform a reboot.
If you have only changed cell configurations from ON to OFF, then
perform a reboot using the REBOOT command. Any cells set to not be
used will still be assigned to the nPartition but will not be used (will
not rendezvous) in the nPartition.
• Use the BCH interface’s RECONFIGRESET command to put the
nPartition in the ready for reconfig state, then use the service
processor Command menu’s BO command to boot the nPartition.
If you have changed any cell from OFF (“n”, do not use on next boot)
to ON (“y”, use the cell on next boot), then you must perform these
two tasks; this resets and reconfigures the nPartition and boots it.
