cell The cell to be added to the nPartition. You can specify the cell in global (cell) format or in hardware location (cabinet/slot) format. type The cell type: base is the only supported cell type and it is the default. use The cell use-on-next-boot value: y or n. Use y (the default) if the cell is to be an active member of the nPartition, or use n if the cell is to remain an inactive member. fail The cell failure usage: ri (reactivate with interleave) is the only supported failure usage policy and it is the default. For details, refer to the parmodify(1M) manpage. • For the Enhanced nPartition Commands, the parmodify command's -a... option is as follows: -a cell:[type]:[use]:[fail][:clm] where the cell, type, use, and fail attributes are the same as supported by the Original nPartition Commands. The clm value specifies the amount of memory that will be configured as cell local memory for the cell. You can specify the clm value in either of two forms: percentage or absolute amount of memory. - Percentage cell-local memory (CLM). The percent number can be any number in the range 0-100 with a suffix of %. This number is rounded to 12.5%, 25%, 37.5%, 50%, 62.5%, 75%, 87.5% or 100%. If the cell contains less than 4 GBytes of memory, then the percentage is rounded to 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%. Percentages are rounded up or down to the nearest value, but are not rounded up to 100%. - Absolute CLM specification. (The default.) The absolute number is interpreted as an absolute number of gigabytes of memory and can optionally have a suffix of GB. As needed, an absolute CLM specification is rounded up to the nearest 0.5 GBytes. If the clm value is rounded, the command reports the final value used. For details, refer to the parmodify(1M) manpage. parmodify Command: -B Option for nPartition Booting You can optionally specify the parmodify command's -B option to require that the modified nPartition be rebooted. • When you specify -B to modify an inactive nPartition, the changes to the inactive nPartition are completed immediately and the nPartition then boots and becomes active. • When you specify -B to modify an active nPartition, you must perform a reboot for reconfig for the changes to be completed. After the reboot for reconfig occurs the nPartition boots and becomes active (because the parmodify command -B option was specified). Refer to the parmodify(1M) manpage for details on all options. 4. As needed, perform a reboot for reconfig on the modified nPartition (HP-UX: shutdown -R; Windows: shutdown /r; Linux: shutdown -r time; OpenVMS: @SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN with an automatic system reboot). See "Reboot for Reconfig Guidelines for Adding Cells" (page 180) for details on when to perform a reboot for reconfig. Procedure 6-7 Adding Cells to an nPartition (Partition Manager) You can add cells to an nPartition by using Partition Manager. Assigning (Adding) Cells to an nPartition 181
