Setting and Checking Cell Attributes
HP System Partitions Guide: Administration for nPartitions, rev 5.1 291
Setting Cell Attributes [HP-UX]
This procedure (parmodify -p # -m # ...) lists and sets the
use-on-next-boot and failure usage settings for cells using HP-UX
commands.
Step 1. Login to HP-UX running on the nPartition.
You can login to HP-UX on the nPartition either by connecting with
telnet or rlogin, or by logging in to its complex’s service processor and
accessing the nPartition’s console.
Connecting through the service processor allows you to maintain
nPartition 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
server complex.
You can list and modify any cell’s settings from HP-UX running on any
nPartition in the server complex.
Use either parstatus -C or parstatus -V -c# to list the cell attribute
settings. The following examples and text describe both these commands.
• A use-on-next-boot value of “yes” means the cell will be active as part
of the nPartition the next time the nPartition boots.
