Setting blade attributes using the OA CLI, Blade Attributes

Page 48 highlights

Setting blade attributes using the OA CLI You can set the blade attributes using the parcreate or parmodify commands. For more information about the parcreate command, see help parcreate. For more information about the parmodify command, see help parmodify. For example: To add the blade in enclosure 1 slot 5 with non-default attributes to the existing nPartition nPar0001: parmodify -p nPar0001 -a blade:1/5:base:n:ri:50% The example overrides the default value for use_on_next_boot to n. This results in the blade being owned by the nPartition, but not activated during boot. The memory configuration is also overridden. By default, 87.5% is used as SLM and the rest is ILM. This example results in a blade that is 50% SLM and 50% ILM. Setting blade attributes using the OA GUI To set the blade attributes using the OA GUI: 1. Select the nPartition from the left navigation pane, and then click Modify nPartition. 2. Ensure that you have assigned the blades to the nPartition. For more information, see "Assigning blades and I/O bays to an nPartition using the OA GUI" (page 44). 3. To modify the use_on _next_boot attribute, expand the Blade Attributes section. Figure 13 Blade Attributes section 4. To distribute ILM/SLM, expand the Memory section. Select the blades to modify the SLM values and enter the fixed or fractional SLM values. Click the Set Memory button to apply the memory changes. See Figure 14 (page 48). Figure 14 Memory Settings 48 Creating and configuring nPartitions

Setting blade attributes using the OA CLI
You can set the blade attributes using the
parcreate
or
parmodify
commands. For more
information about the
parcreate
command, see
help parcreate
. For more information about the
parmodify
command, see
help parmodify
.
For example:
To add the blade in enclosure 1 slot 5 with non-default attributes to the existing nPartition nPar0001:
parmodify -p nPar0001 -a blade:1/5:base:n:ri:50%
The example overrides the default value for
use_on_next_boot
to
n
. This results in the blade
being owned by the nPartition, but not activated during boot. The memory configuration is also
overridden. By default, 87.5% is used as SLM and the rest is ILM. This example results in a blade
that is 50% SLM and 50% ILM.
Setting blade attributes using the OA GUI
To set the blade attributes using the OA GUI:
1.
Select the nPartition from the left navigation pane, and then click
Modify nPartition
.
2.
Ensure that you have assigned the blades to the nPartition. For more information, see
“Assigning

.
3.
To modify the
use_on _next_boot
attribute, expand the Blade Attributes section.

To distribute ILM/SLM, expand the Memory section. Select the blades to modify the SLM values
and enter the fixed or fractional SLM values. Click the Set Memory button to apply the memory
changes. See
