Using Other Tools for Managing nPartitions nPartition-level tasks NOTE Set core cell choices The core cell choice settings for an nPartition are optional preferences that establish which cells in the nPartition are preferred to be selected as the core cell for the nPartition. You do not need to specify core cell choices for a valid core cell to be chosen. By default on HP Superdome and rx8620/rx8640 servers, system firmware selects the lowest numbered eligible cell to be the active core cell for the nPartition. By default on HP rx7620/rx7640 servers, cell 1 is selected as the core cell. Set the core cell choices for an nPartition using the following procedure: Setting core cell choices [par commands] From the command line, use the parmodify command to configure the core cell choices for an nPartition. You also can use the parstatus -V -p# command to list the core cell choices for an nPartition (-p# where # is the nPartition number). Step 1. Login to Windows on the Management Station PC. Step 2. Issue the parstatus -V -p# command to list the current core cell choices and core cell use for an nPartition. 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. The parstatus -V -p# command lists detailed status for the specified nPartition (-p# where # is the nPartition number). The nPartition status includes the current active core cell ("Core Cell"), and any core cell choice settings.

Set core cell choices
The core cell choice settings for an nPartition are optional preferences that establish
which cells in the nPartition are preferred to be selected as the core cell for the
nPartition.
NOTE
You do not need to specify core cell choices for a valid core cell to be chosen.
By default on HP Superdome and rx8620/rx8640 servers, system firmware selects the
lowest numbered eligible cell to be the active core cell for the nPartition.
By default on HP rx7620/rx7640 servers, cell 1 is selected as the core cell.
Set the core cell choices for an nPartition using the following procedure:
Setting core cell choices [par commands]
From the command line, use the
parmodify
command to configure the core cell choices
for an nPartition. You also can use the
parstatus -V -p#
command to list the core cell
choices for an nPartition (
-p#
where
#
is the nPartition number).
Step 1.
Login to Windows on the Management Station PC.
Step 2.
Issue the
parstatus -V -p#
command to list the current core cell choices and core cell
use for an nPartition.
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.
The
parstatus -V -p#
command lists detailed status for the specified nPartition (
-p#
where
#
is the nPartition number).
The nPartition status includes the current active core cell (“Core Cell”), and any core cell
choice settings.
The core cell choice preferences are listed by
parstatus
as the “Core Cell Alternate”
settings with “1” being the highest priority and “2” through “4” as the lower priority core
cell choices.
