Using Other Tools for Managing nPartitions nPartition-level tasks Reboot for reconfiguration During a reboot for reconfig of an nPartition, the command that you issue performs the following tasks: 1. Shuts down the operating system and resets all cells that are assigned to the nPartition, including any inactive cells. 2. Reconfigures the nPartition if necessary (if there is a pending change to the Stable Complex Configuration Data, it occurs during the reboot for reconfig). 3. Boots all cells in the nPartition. Any cells with a "n" use-on-next-boot value remain inactive at BIB, and all other cells can rendezvous to form the nPartition. Perform a reboot for reconfig of an nPartition whenever you add cells or remove active cells from the nPartition, and whenever you need to allow an inactive cell to join the nPartition (such as after changing a cell use-on-next-boot value from "n" to "y"). Perform a reboot for reconfig using the following procedure: Reboot for reconfig from Windows [Windows] From the Windows command line use the shutdown /r command (or select the Start > Shut Down action and choose Restart from the pull-down menu) to perform a reboot for reconfig for an nPartition. CAUTION Do not shut down Windows using Special Administration Console (SAC) restart or shutdown commands under normal circumstances. Issuing restart or shutdown at the SAC> prompt causes the system to restart or shutdown immediately and can result in the loss of data. Instead use the Windows Start menu or the shutdown command to shut down gracefully. Step 1. Login to Windows running on the nPartition that you want to shut down. For example, access the nPartition console and use the Windows SAC interface to start a command prompt, from which you can issue Windows commands to shut down the nPartition. Step 2. Issue the shutdown /r command to shut down the Windows Server 2003 operating system on the nPartition and reboot. You also can perform this task by selecting the Start > Shut Down action and choosing Restart from the pull-down menu. For example: shutdown /r /t 60 /c "Reboot for reconfig." This command initiates a Windows system shutdown-and-reboot after a timeout period of 60 seconds. The /c option specifies a message that is broadcast to any other users of the system. For more details use the help shutdown command. Chapter 4 73

Reboot for reconfiguration
During a reboot for reconfig of an nPartition, the command that you issue performs the
following tasks:
1. Shuts down the operating system and resets all cells that are assigned to the
nPartition, including any inactive cells.
2. Reconfigures the nPartition if necessary (if there is a pending change to the Stable
Complex Configuration Data, it occurs during the reboot for reconfig).
3. Boots all cells in the nPartition. Any cells with a “n” use-on-next-boot value remain
inactive at BIB, and all other cells can rendezvous to form the nPartition.
Perform a reboot for reconfig of an nPartition whenever you add cells or remove active
cells from the nPartition, and whenever you need to allow an inactive cell to join the
nPartition (such as after changing a cell use-on-next-boot value from “n” to “y”).
Perform a reboot for reconfig using the following procedure:
Reboot for reconfig from Windows [Windows]
From the Windows command line use the
shutdown /r
command (or select the
Start >
Shut Down
action and choose
Restart
from the pull-down menu) to perform a reboot for
reconfig for an nPartition.
CAUTION
Do not shut down Windows using Special Administration Console (SAC)
restart
or
shutdown
commands under normal circumstances.
Issuing
restart
or
shutdown
at the
SAC>
prompt causes the system to restart or
shutdown immediately and can result in the loss of data.
Instead use the Windows
Start
menu or the
shutdown
command to shut down gracefully.
Step 1.
Login to Windows running on the nPartition that you want to shut down.
For example, access the nPartition console and use the Windows SAC interface to start a
command prompt, from which you can issue Windows commands to shut down the
nPartition.
Step 2.
Issue the
shutdown /r
command to shut down the Windows Server 2003 operating
system on the nPartition and reboot. You also can perform this task by selecting the
Start
> Shut Down
action and choosing
Restart
from the pull-down menu.
For example:
shutdown /r /t 60 /c "Reboot for reconfig."
This command initiates a Windows system shutdown-and-reboot after a timeout period
of 60 seconds. The
/c
option specifies a message that is broadcast to any other users of
the system.
For more details use the
help shutdown
command.
