3. To modify cell attribute values, use the parmodify -p# -m#... command and specify the new attributes for a cell as part of the -m option. The -m... option differs slightly for the nPartition command releases. You must specify both the nPartition (-p# where # is the nPartition number) and the cell (-m#... where # is the cell number). To modify multiple cells, you can specify the -m option multiple times in the same command. parmodify Command: -m Option Differences for nPartition Command Releases The parmodify command's -m... option specifies a cell number and attributes, which are used to modify the configuration of the specified cell. Both syntaxes are given in the following list. • For the Original nPartition Commands, the parmodify command's -m... option is as follows: -m cell:[type]:[use]:[fail] where: 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 -m... option is as follows: -m 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. CAUTION: Memory configured as cell local memory only can be used by operating systems that support it. Any memory configured as cell local memory is unusable when an nPartition runs an operating system that does not support it. Cell Local Memory Specification 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. 192 Creating and Configuring nPartitions

parmodify -p

command and specify
the new attributes for a cell as part of the
-m
option. The
-m...
option differs slightly for
the nPartition command releases.
You must specify both the nPartition (
-p
#

parmodify
Command: -m Option Differences for nPartition Command Releases
The
parmodify
command's
-m...
option specifies a cell number and attributes, which are
used to modify the configuration of the specified cell. Both syntaxes are given in the following
list.
•
For the Original nPartition Commands, the
parmodify
command's
-m...
option is
as follows:
-m
cell
:[
type
]:[
use
]:[
fail
]
where:
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
-m...
option is
as follows:
-m
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.
CAUTION:
Memory configured as cell local memory only can be used by operating
systems that support it.
Any memory configured as cell local memory is unusable when an nPartition runs an
operating system that does not support it.
Cell Local Memory Specification
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
.
