For the Original nPartition Commands, all attributes are optional and if not specified the default values (base:y:ri) are assigned. - Enhanced nPartition Commands - For the -m option: -m#:base:[y|n]:ri[:clm] where all Original nPartition Commands attributes are supported, and clm is the cell local memory value: the amount of memory on the cell that is not interleaved. The clm attribute may be an absolute number of GBytes in 0.5 GByte increments, or a percentage (in 12.5% increments, or in 25% increments for cells with less than 4 GBytes). • Partition Manager: - Version 1.0 - Select the nPartition to which the cell belongs, select the Partition→Modify Partition action, Change Cell Attributes tab, select the cell(s), and click Modify Cell(s). - Version 2.0 - Select the nPartition to which the cell belongs, select the nPartition→Modify nPartition action, and then configure attributes using the Set Cell Options tab and the Configure Memory tab. See "Setting Cell Attributes" (page 189). "Setting nPartition Core Cell Choices" • BCH Menu: Configuration menu, COC command. COC choice cell, where choice is 0-3 (with 0 being the highest-priority choice) and where cell is the cell number. • EFI Shell: rootcell command. rootcell clear to clear the list of preferred core cells. rootcell c0 c1... to specify up to four choices, with c0 being the highest-priority choice and c0-c3 being the cell numbers. • nPartition Commands: parmodify -p# -r# -r#... command to specify up to four core cell choices (-r#, where # is the cell number) in priority order for the specified nPartition (-p#, where # is the nPartition number) • Partition Manager: - Version 1.0 - Select the nPartition to configure, select the Partition→Modify Partition action, Core Cell Choices tab. - Version 2.0 - Select the nPartition to configure, select the nPartition→Modify nPartition action, Set Cell Options tab, and use the Core Cell Choice column to set priorities.
