To list current cell attribute settings, use the parstatus -C command to list the use-on-next-boot values for all cells, or use the parstatus -V -c# command to list all attribute values for a specific cell (-c# where # is the cell number) 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 3. To modify cell attribute values, use the parmodify -p# -m#... command and specify the new attributes for a cell as part of the -m option. You must specify both the nPartition (-p# where # is the nPartition number) and the cell (-m#... where # is the cell number). To modify multiple cells, you can specify the -m option multiple times in the same command. parmodify command: -m attribute explanation The parmodify command's -m... option specifies a cell number and attributes, which are used to modify the configuration of the specified cell. • For Windows Server 2003, the parmodify command's -m... option is as follows: -m cell:[type]:[use]:[fail][:clm] where: 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. The clm value specifies the amount of memory that will be configured as cell local memory for the cell. Cell local memory specification 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 %. 96 Chapter 4

Cell-level tasks

Step 1.
Login to Windows on the Management Station PC.
Step 2.
To list current cell attribute settings, use the
parstatus -C
command to list the
use-on-next-boot values for all cells, or use the
parstatus -V -c#
command to list all
attribute values for a specific cell (
-c#
where
#
is the cell number)
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 3.
To modify cell attribute values, use the
parmodify -p# -m#...
command and specify
the new attributes for a cell as part of the
-m
option.
You must specify both the nPartition (
-p#
where
#
is the nPartition number) and the cell
(
-m#...
where
#
is the cell number).
To modify multiple cells, you can specify the
-m
option multiple times in the same
command.
parmodify
command: -m attribute explanation
The
parmodify
command’s
-m...
option specifies a cell number and attributes, which
are used to modify the configuration of the specified cell.
For Windows Server 2003, the
parmodify
command’s
-m...
option is as follows:
-m cell:[type]:[use]:[fail][:clm]
where:
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.
The
clm
value specifies the amount of memory that will be configured as cell local
memory for the cell.
Cell local memory specification
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
%
.
