What could possibly go wrong? Dynamic nPartitions commands return a message if the operation cannot proceed as intended. The following table gives some troubleshooting hints. Message The cell shall be assigned to the local (target) nPar. The cell shall be at BIB (completed POST). The Use On Next Boot flag shall be set to true for the target cell. There shall not be a cell OL* operation already in progress on the local (target) nPar. The OS on the target nPar shall support cell online operations. vPar monitor shall not be running on the target nPar. The system FW in the active cells in the target nPar shall support cell OLAD. The system FW in the target cell shall support cell OLAD. The target cell shall be compatible with the existing active cells in the local (target) nPar. There shall not be a pending profile at the time of the OL* operation initiation. The cell shall be active. The cell shall be a floating cell. All cards in the I/O chassis attached to the target cell shall be deconfigured. Likely Cause The cell to be online activated or deactivated is not already a member of the target partition. In the case of online cell migration, the cell to be online activated is still completing its power on initialization after being online deactivated from its previous partition. The Use On Next Boot flag was set to false when the target cell was added to its partition. There is already a cell online activation or deactivation operation in progress in the target partition. The Dynamic nPartitions feature is not installed. The parolrad command was issued from a vPars instance. The firmware on the cells already in the partition does not support Dynamic nPartitions. The firmware on the cell being activated does not support Dynamic nPartitions. The cell being activated is not compatible with the cells already in the partition. An administrator has used the parmodify command to modify the partition in a way that requires a reboot for the change to take effect. You are trying to deactivate a cell that is not already active. You are trying to deactivate a base cell. The cell been deactivated has an active I/O chassis. Remedy Assign the cell to the partition before activating it. Wait for one minute, or until parstatus shows the state of the target cell to be "Inactive". Use the parmodify command to set the Use On Next Boot flag to true. Wait for the previous operation to complete. The command parolrad -m will monitor the progress of that operation. Install the DynamicNPars product from HP-UX 11i v3 Update 1. Use the vPars processor and memory migration facilities instead of parolrad. Upgrade the system firmware on all cells to at least the minimum version specified in the firmware matrix. Make adjustments so that all of the cells have the same processor type and the same system firmware version. Reboot the partition so that the pending profile can take effect. Check for a typo in the cell identifier. Check for a typo in the cell identifier. Quiesce the I/O, then use the olrad command to deactivate the I/O chassis. 19
