Configure and deconfigure cells You can deconfigure (make inactive) a cell that is assigned to an nPartition by setting its use-on-next-boot value to "n" (do not use). This causes the cell to remain assigned to the nPartition, but the cell will be inactive the next time its nPartition boots, meaning the cell hardware resources will not be used. Whenever you configure or deconfigure cells, you must reboot the corresponding nPartition for the configuration change to take effect.

To modify cell attribute values, use the parmodify -p# -m#... command and specify the new cell attributes as part of the -m option. You must specify both the nPartition (-p# where # is the nPartition number) and the cell (-m#... where # is the cell number). Chapter 4 105

# frupower -f -c0
Error: Can not power off active cell 0.
# frupower -f -c2
# frupower -o -c2
# frupower -f -c6
Error: Cell 6 belongs to partition 1.
Can not power off cell.
#
# frupower -f -i0/1/1
Error: I/O chassis 0/1/1 is attached to a powered-on free
cell 4.
Please power off the free cell.
#
In the above example, cell 0 is active and thus cannot be powered off using
frupower
.
Cell 2 is inactive and is powered off (
frupower -f -c2
) and then powered back on
(
frupower -o -c2
). Cell 6 is assigned to a remote nPartition (partition number 1) and
thus cannot be powered off. I/O chassis 0/1/1 is attached to cell 4, so to power it off cell 4
must be powered off.
Configure and deconfigure cells
You can deconfigure (make inactive) a cell that is assigned to an nPartition by setting its
use-on-next-boot value to “n” (do not use). This causes the cell to remain assigned to the
nPartition, but the cell will be inactive the next time its nPartition boots, meaning the
cell hardware resources will not be used.
Whenever you configure or deconfigure cells, you must reboot the corresponding
nPartition for the configuration change to take effect.
NOTE
Configuring and deconfiguring cells may be restricted based on any capacity on demand
(iCOD) or pay per use (PPU) contracts for the server complex.
Configure and deconfigure cells using the following procedure:
Configuring and deconfiguring cells [par commands]
From the command line, use the
parmodify -p# -m#...
command to configure or
deconfigure a cell by setting its use-on-next-boot attribute value. You also can use the
parstatus -V -c#
command to list attribute details for a specific cell (
-c#
where
#
is
the cell number).
Step 1.
Login to Windows on the Management Station PC.
Step 2.
To list current cell attribute settings, use the
parstatus -C
command to list the
use-on-next-boot values for all cells, or use the
parstatus -V -c#
command to list all
attribute values for a specific cell (
-c#
where
#
is the cell number)
NOTE
You must include the correct remote administration options when issuing par commands
(
-h
and
-g
for IPMI over LAN connections;
-h
and
-u
for WBEM/WMI connections). For
a complete explanation of these options, refer to the command description in “nPartition
Commands Reference” on page 109.
Step 3.
To modify cell attribute values, use the
parmodify -p# -m#...
command and specify
the new cell attributes as part of the
-m
option.
You must specify both the nPartition (
-p#
where
#
is the nPartition number) and the cell
(
-m#...
where
#
is the cell number).
