Using Other Tools for Managing nPartitions Complex-level tasks Aborting cell assignment changes You can cancel a pending change to an active cell by using this procedure. Only changes involving the unassignment (deletion) of an active cell from an nPartition can practically be canceled. Step 1. After issuing a request to unassign an active cell from its nPartition, do not perform a shutdown or reset of the nPartition. When the cell assignment of an active cell is pending, the Stable Complex Configuration Data is not pushed out until the cell is at the boot is blocked (BIB) state, which occurs during a reboot for reconfig or shutdown for reconfig of its nPartition. Step 2. Issue a request to unlock the Stable Complex Configuration Data for the server where the cell assignment change is pending. Use the procedure given in "Unlock complex profile entries" on page 53. List product and serial numbers Product and serial number information is stored in the Stable Complex Configuration Data portion of the Complex Profile for an nPartition-capable server. List product and serial numbers using the following procedure: Listing product and serial numbers [par commands] From the command line, issue the parstatus -X command to display the product number and serial number for the server complex. Step 1. Login to Windows on the Management Station PC. Step 2. Issue the parstatus -X command to display the product number and serial 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. Chapter 4 55

Aborting cell assignment changes
You can cancel a pending change to an active cell by using this procedure. Only changes
involving the unassignment (deletion) of an active cell from an nPartition can practically
be canceled.
Step 1.
After issuing a request to unassign an active cell from its nPartition, do not perform a
shutdown or reset of the nPartition.
When the cell assignment of an active cell is pending, the Stable Complex Configuration
Data is not pushed out until the cell is at the boot is blocked (BIB) state, which occurs
during a reboot for reconfig or shutdown for reconfig of its nPartition.
Step 2.
Issue a request to unlock the Stable Complex Configuration Data for the server where
the cell assignment change is pending.
Use the procedure given in “Unlock complex profile entries” on page 53.
List product and serial numbers
Product and serial number information is stored in the Stable Complex Configuration
Data portion of the Complex Profile for an nPartition-capable server.
List product and serial numbers using the following procedure:
Listing product and serial numbers [par commands]
From the command line, issue the
parstatus -X
command to display the product
number and serial number for the server complex.
Step 1.
Login to Windows on the Management Station PC.
Step 2.
Issue the
parstatus -X
command to display the product number and serial 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.
