As a result of this procedure, all existing nPartition configurations are deleted and are replaced with a single, one-cell nPartition (the Genesis Partition). You can revert to the previous nPartition configuration-if any existed before you created the Genesis Partition-by using the CC command and L option to restore the last configuration. 1. Save all current nPartition configuration details, if any nPartitions are configured in the complex. Saving the current nPartition information provides you the details you would need to re-create all nPartitions as they currently exist. Use the parstatus -V -p# command (or an equivalent Partition Manager procedure) to save configuration details about each nPartition. For each nPartition, enter the parstatus -V -p# command to display detailed information about the partition number (-p#) specified. 2. Determine which cell will be configured as the Genesis Partition. The cell must be connected to an I/O chassis. The I/O chassis must have a core I/O card installed, and it should have a bootable disk (or a method for installing an operating system and a disk onto which it can be installed). 3. Ensure that all nPartitions within the complex are in the shutdown for reconfig (inactive) state. If an nPartition is running HP-UX, you can shut down the nPartition to the shutdown for reconfig state by using the shutdown -R -H command. If an nPartition is running Windows you can put it in a shutdown for reconfig state by using the shutdown /s command. Or, you can put an nPartition into the shutdown for reconfig state by using the RECONFIGRESET command at the BCH interface, the reconfigreset command at the EFI Shell, or using the RR command at the service processor Command menu. 4. Login to the service processor (GSP or MP) for the server complex. Login as a user with administrator privileges, which are required for creating a Genesis Partition. 5. Enter CM to access the service processor Command menu. 6. Issue the CC command, select G for Genesis Complex Profile, and specify the cabinet and cell slot for the cell that will comprise the Genesis Partition. GSP:CM> CC This command allows you to change the complex profile. WARNING: You must shut down all Protection Domains before executing this command.
