Reassigning (Moving) a Cell to a Different nPartition
The following high-level procedure moves a cell to a different nPartition.
You can perform these steps using either HP-UX commands or Partition
Manager.
Step 1. See the procedure Unassigning (Removing) Cells from an nPartition on
page 273 to remove the cell that you want to move to the other
nPartition.
As part of this step, you perform a reboot for reconfig (shutdown -R) of
the nPartition to which the cell is originally assigned.
As a result of this step, the cell is unassigned (on the “free cell list” of
available resources) so is is available to be assigned to the other
nPartition in the next step.
Step 2. See the procedure Assigning (Adding) Cells to an nPartition on page 269
to assign the cell you made available in Step 1 to its new nPartition.
This step also requires that you perform a reboot for reconfig
(shutdown -R) of the nPartition to which the cell is being added.
Following the reboot for reconfig, the cell is available (assigned and
active) in the new location.
