You can put it in a shutdown for reconfig state by using the
shutdown /s
command in
Windows, the
reconfigreset
command at the EFI Shell, or the
RR
command at the
management processor Command menu.
Step 4.
Login to the management processor for the server complex.
Login as a user with administrator privileges, which are required for creating a Genesis
Partition.
Step 5.
Enter
CM
to access the management processor Command menu.
Step 6.
Issue the
CC
command, select
G
for Genesis Complex Profile, and specify the cabinet and
cell slot for the cell that will comprise the Genesis Partition.
GSP:CM> CC
This command allows you to change the complex profile.
WARNING: You must shut down all Protection Domains before executing
this command.
G - Genesis Complex Profile
L - Last Complex Profile
Select Profile: g
Enter Cabinet number: 0
Enter Slot number: 0
Do you want to modify the complex profile? (Y/[N]) y
-> The complex profile will be modified.
GSP:CM>
You can confirm that the Genesis Partition was successfully created if the
CC
command
reports that the “complex profile will be modified”.
If the
CC
command reports “Sorry, command failed”, then the Genesis Partition was not
created, possibly because one or more nPartitions are not at the shutdown for reconfig
state. If this is the case, go back to Step 3 and ensure all nPartitions are inactive at the
shutdown for reconfig state.
Step 7.
Issue the
BO
command to boot the Genesis Partition past its shutdown for reconfig state
and make it an active nPartition.
When a Genesis Partition is created, it remains at boot-is-blocked (in an inactive,
shutdown for reconfig state), so you must boot it manually.
The Genesis Partition always is assigned partition number 0, because when it is created
it is the first and only nPartition in the server complex.
Using the
BO
command to boot partition 0 will boot the Genesis Partition to its EFI
system boot environment.
GSP:CM> BO
This command boots the selected partition.
