You must reboot the partition to allow the new use-on-next-boot values to

take effect.

The shutdown -R command performs a reboot for reconﬁg for the

nPartition, which allows all cells to reboot, including any currently

inactive cells in the nPartition.

Deconﬁguring Cells, Processors, and Memory [Partition Manager]

This procedure (Partition —> Modify Partition menu, Change Cell Attributes

tab) conﬁgures and deconﬁgures (makes inactive) cells using Partition

Manager.

Step 1. Run Partition Manager (/opt/parmgr/bin/parmgr) or access it from

SAM or a Web browser.

Step 2. Select the nPartition whose cell conﬁguration you want to modify, then

select the Partition —> Modify Partition menu item.

Step 3. Click the Change Cell Attributes tab.

Step 4. Select the cell whose conﬁguration you want to modify, then click the

Modify Cell(s) button.

Step 5. In the Modify Cell Attributes window, set the cell’s use-on-next-boot

value, then click the OK button.

To conﬁgure the cell to be used set use-on-next-boot to “yes”.

To conﬁgure the cell to not be used set use-on-next-boot to “no”.

Step 6. Exit Partition Manager, then reboot the corresponding nPartition using

the shutdown -R command.

You must reboot the nPartition whose use-on-next-boot cell values you

changed to allow the new use-on-next-boot values to take effect.
