Boot an inactive nPartition
When all cells in an nPartition are at boot-is-blocked, the nPartition is inactive. This is
the case, for example, when an nPartition is held at the shutdown for reconfig state.
You can boot an nPartition past the shutdown for reconfig state to make it active by
using the
BO
(boot) command at the management processor Command menu.
To determine whether an nPartition is in a boot-is-blocked (shutdown for reconfig) state,
use the Virtual Front Panel for the nPartition to check the nPartition boot status. If all
cells assigned to the nPartition are at boot-is-blocked, the nPartition is halted at the
shutdown for reconfig state.
Boot an inactive nPartition using the following procedure:
Booting an Inactive nPartition [Par Commands]
You can cause an inactive nPartition to be booted (made active) by using the
parmodify
command with the
-B
option when changing the configuration of an inactive nPartition.
Step 1.
Login to a Windows system where the Par Commands tool is installed.
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 2.
When modifying an inactive nPartition, specify the
-B
option when using the
/usr/sbin/parmodify
command to reconfigure the inactive nPartition.
For example, when adding or removing cells from an inactive nPartition, specifying the
-B
option causes the nPartition to boot (become active) immediately following the
nPartition modification.
