Restoring a Complex Proﬁle

You can restore a previous Complex Proﬁle conﬁguration, which

effectively allows you to undo your last nPartition conﬁguration change.

Restoring the previous Complex Proﬁle allows you to revert to the

previous complex conﬁguration—including the nPartition

conﬁgurations—that existed before you made your last change.

NOTE Because restoring a prior Complex Proﬁle requires shutting down all

nPartitions to an inactive ready for reconﬁg state, you should use this

procedure only when absolutely necessary.

Restoring a Complex Proﬁle [Service Processor]

This procedure (Command menu, CC command, L option) restores the

prior complex conﬁguration that existed before you made your last

nPartition conﬁguration change.

Step 1. Ensure that all nPartitions within the server complex are inactive at the

ready for reconﬁg state.

You can put each nPartition into the ready for reconﬁg state by using the

shutdown -R -H command, the BCH interface’s RECONFIGRESET

command, or using the service processor Command menu’s RR command.

Step 2. Login to the server complex’s service processor, and enter CM to access the

Command menu.

execute the RR (reset for reconfiguration) command for all

partitions before executing this command.
