Creating a Partition specification You can create a parspec using the following command in the OA CLI: • parcreate -C PartitionSpec:[:create_partition_flag] Where PartitionSpec is the name of the parspec to be created. The create_partition_flag can take the following values: ◦ y - the corresponding nPartition is created. ◦ n - the corresponding nPartition does not get created. This is the default. NOTE: ◦ The -C option creates only a partition specification. ◦ All user supplied arguments to parcreate that are used to define an nPartition may be used to create a parspec. Creating an nPartition from a Partition specification You can create an nPartition and assign resources using the parspec with the help of the following commands: • Use the following command to create an nPartition using PartitionSpec parcreate -Z PartitionSpec NOTE: The -Z option creates an nPartition from the PartitionSpec partition specification. • The following command modifies the alternate parspec named PartitionSpec to add a new blade in enclosure 1 slot 3 to the nPartition definition. parmodify -Z PartitionSpec -a blade:1/3 Removing a Partition specification Use the following command to remove a parspec: parremove -Z PartitionSpec Saving the current configuration of nPartition and switch to an alternate configuration To save your current configuration and switch to an alternate configuration, complete the following steps: 1. parmodify -p 1 -c Saved_Config 2. poweroff partition 1 3. parremove -p 1 4. parcreate -Z Alt_Config Identifying Partition specification using the OA GUI To view a partition's parspec name on the OA GUI: 1.

Creating a Partition specification
You can create a parspec using the following command in the OA CLI:
•
parcreate -C PartitionSpec:[:create_partition_flag]
Where
PartitionSpec
is the name of the
parspec
to be created. The
create_partition_flag
can take the following values:
◦
y – the corresponding nPartition is created.
◦
n – the corresponding nPartition does not get created. This is the default.
NOTE:
◦
The
-C
option creates only a partition specification.
◦
All user supplied arguments to
parcreate
that are used to define an nPartition may be
used to create a parspec.
Creating an nPartition from a Partition specification
You can create an nPartition and assign resources using the parspec with the help of the following
commands:
•
Use the following command to create an nPartition using
PartitionSpec
parcreate -Z PartitionSpec
NOTE:
The
-Z
option creates an nPartition from the
PartitionSpec
partition specification.
•
The following command modifies the alternate
parspec
named
PartitionSpec
to add a
new blade in enclosure 1 slot 3 to the nPartition definition.
parmodify -Z PartitionSpec -a blade:1/3
Removing a Partition specification
Use the following command to remove a parspec:
parremove -Z PartitionSpec
Saving the current configuration of nPartition and switch to an alternate configuration
To save your current configuration and switch to an alternate configuration, complete the following
steps:
1.
parmodify -p 1 -c Saved_Config
2.
poweroff partition 1
3.
parremove -p 1
4.
parcreate -Z Alt_Config
Identifying Partition specification using the OA GUI
To view a partition's parspec name on the OA GUI:
1.
Launch the OA GUI.
2.
Select an nPartition.
3.
Click
Modify nPartition
.
Figure 3 (page 30)
shows the window with the Partition Specification
Name.
