#
You can select any of the cells listed to create the new nPartition; only the cells that are
not “absent” are present within the server complex.
All cells that you choose must meet the hardware requirements for nPartitions (for
example, they all must have the same firmware revision). The cells also must form an
HP-recommended nPartition configuration. At least one cell must have an I/O chassis
with core I/O.
Step 2.
After confirming that cells you have chosen would establish a valid nPartition
configuration, use the
parcreate -c
... command to create a new nPartition with the
cells.
When using the
parcreate
command, only specify the
-B
option if you want the
nPartition to be booted and become active. The
-B
option causes
parcreate
to
immediately boot the newly-created nPartition past the default shutdown for reconfig
state.
By not specifying
-B
, the new nPartition can be further modified because it will remain
inactive at the shutdown for reconfig state (until you boot it using the
BO
command at
the management processor Command Menu).
If creating a single-cell nPartition, use just one
-c
option.
To create a multiple-cell nPartition, specify the
-c
option multiple times (once for each
cell) issuing a single command line.
When
parcreate
successfully creates a new nPartition, it reports “Partition Created”
and reports the nPartition number (“partition number is...”).
If
parcreate
detects any problems or issues when creating an nPartition, it lists them in
its output. If it cannot create the nPartition,
parcreate
reports “Command failed” along
with more details.
parcreate
command: cell attributes explanation
The
parcreate
command’s
-c...
option specifies the cell number(s) and attributes to be
used when creating the new nPartition. The cell local memory attribute is optional.
•
-c cell:[cell_type]:[use_on_next_boot]:[failure_usage][:clm]
This option specifies the cell ID (
cell
) to be assigned to the nPartition.
—
The only valid
cell_type
value is:
base
(base cell, the default).
