Using Other Tools for Managing nPartitions nPartition-level tasks cell The cell to be added to the nPartition. You can specify the cell in global (cell) format or in hardware location (cabinet/slot) format. type The cell type: base is the only supported cell type and it is the default. use The cell use-on-next-boot value: y or n. Use y (the default) if the cell is to be an active member of the nPartition, or use n if the cell is to remain an inactive member. fail The cell failure usage: ri (reactivate with interleave) is the only supported failure usage policy and it is the default. For HP Integrity servers, the clm value specifies the amount of memory that will be configured as cell local memory for the cell. You can specify the clm value in either of two forms: percentage or absolute amount of memory. - Percentage cell-local memory (CLM). The percent number can be any number in the range 0-100 with a suffix of %. This number is rounded to 12.5%, 25%, 37.5%, 50%, 62.5%, 75%, 87.5% or 100%. If the cell contains less than 4 GBytes of memory, then the percentage is rounded to 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%. Percentages are rounded up or down to the nearest value, but are not rounded up to 100%. - Absolute CLM specification. (The default.) The absolute number is interpreted as an absolute number of gigabytes of memory and can optionally have a suffix of GB. As needed, an absolute CLM specification is rounded up to the nearest 0.5 GBytes. If the clm value is rounded, the command reports the final value used. parmodify command: -B option for nPartition booting You can optionally specify the parmodify command's -B option to require that the modified nPartition be rebooted. • When you specify -B to modify an inactive nPartition, the changes to the inactive nPartition are completed immediately and the nPartition then boots and becomes active. • When you specify -B to modify an active nPartition, you must perform a reboot for reconfig for the changes to be completed. After the reboot for reconfig occurs the nPartition boots and becomes active (because the parmodify command's -B option was specified). Step 4. As needed, perform a reboot for reconfig on the modified nPartition. See "Reboot for reconfig guidelines for adding cells" on page 87 for details on when to perform a reboot for reconfig. 88 Chapter 4

Using Other Tools for Managing nPartitions
nPartition-level tasks
Chapter 4
88
cell
The cell to be added to the nPartition. You can specify the cell in
global (
cell
) format or in hardware location (
cabinet
/
slot
)
format.
type
The cell type:
base
is the only supported cell type and it is the
default.
use
The cell use-on-next-boot value:
y
or
n
. Use
y
(the default) if the cell
is to be an active member of the nPartition, or use
n
if the cell is to
remain an inactive member.
fail
The cell failure usage:
ri
(reactivate with interleave) is the only
supported failure usage policy and it is the default.
For HP Integrity servers, the
clm
value specifies the amount of memory that will be
configured as cell local memory for the cell.
You can specify the
clm
value in either of two forms: percentage or absolute amount of
memory.
—
Percentage cell-local memory (CLM).
The percent number can be any number in the range 0–100 with a suffix of
%
.
This number is rounded to 12.5%, 25%, 37.5%, 50%, 62.5%, 75%, 87.5% or 100%. If
the cell contains less than 4 GBytes of memory, then the percentage is rounded to
25%, 50%, 75% or 100%. Percentages are rounded up or down to the nearest value,
but are not rounded up to 100%.
—
Absolute CLM specification. (The default.)
The absolute number is interpreted as an absolute number of gigabytes of memory
and can optionally have a suffix of
GB
.
As needed, an absolute CLM specification is rounded up to the nearest 0.5 GBytes.
If the
clm
value is rounded, the command reports the final value used.
parmodify
command: -B option for nPartition booting
You can optionally specify the
parmodify
command’s
-B
option to require that the
modified nPartition be rebooted.
•
When you specify
-B
to modify an inactive nPartition, the changes to the inactive
nPartition are completed immediately and the nPartition then boots and becomes
active.
•
When you specify
-B
to modify an active nPartition, you must perform a reboot for
reconfig for the changes to be completed. After the reboot for reconfig occurs the
nPartition boots and becomes active (because the parmodify command’s
-B
option
was specified).
Step 4.
As needed, perform a reboot for reconfig on the modified nPartition.
See “Reboot for reconfig guidelines for adding cells” on page 87 for details on when to
perform a reboot for reconfig.
