Set Cell Attributes - HP Rx2620-2 - Integrity - 0 MB RAM Manual

If at least one of the cells you plan to remove is currently active, then follow the guidelines
for removing active cells.
Guidelines for removing an active cell
•
removing an active cell from an nPartition if you want the nPartition to become active
following its reboot for reconfig.
For example, the following command removes cell 4 from partition 0 and the -B option
ensures that the nPartition will be active following its reboot for reconfig.
# parmodify -p0 -d4 -B
Cell 4 is active.
Use shutdown -R to shutdown the system to ready for reconfig state.
Command succeeded.
#
You must perform a reboot for reconfig after you issue the parmodify command to
remove active cells from the nPartition. (This is covered in the step that follows.)
• Guidelines for removing an inactive cell
nPartition you do not need to specify the -B option to parmodify and do not need to
perform a reboot for reconfig of the nPartition to which the cell is assigned.
When you use parmodify to remove an inactive cell, the cell is immediately unassigned
from its nPartition.
If you specify the -B option when removing an inactive cell from an inactive nPartition,
then the cell is immediately removed and the modified nPartition is booted past its
inactive shutdown for reconfig state and becomes an active nPartition.
For example, the following command removes cell 2 from partition 0. Because cell 2 is
inactive, it is immediately unassigned.
# parmodify -p0 -d2
Command succeeded.
#
4. As needed, perform a reboot for reconfig of the nPartition being modified.
You must perform a reboot for reconfig if you have removed an active cell or have specified
the -B option when modifying an active nPartition.
See the "Reboot for reconfig guidelines for removing cells" (page 74)
to perform a reboot for reconfig.
This reboot for reconfig enables the cell removal to complete and the Complex Profile to be
unlocked.
If you have removed an active cell and you did not specify the -B option to parmodify,
then the nPartition will remain inactive in the shutdown for reconfig state after you perform
the reboot for reconfig. To make the inactive nPartition active, use the BO (boot) command
at the MP Command menu.

Set cell attributes

Each cell assigned to an nPartition has attributes including use-on-next-boot that determine how
the cell is used within the nPartition. On nPartition-capable HP Integrity servers, each cell also
has a cell local memory attribute that determines the amount of memory on the cell that is not
interleaved.
NOTE:
After changing cell attributes you must reboot the nPartition to which the cell is assigned
to use the new settings. If modifying an inactive cell to be active, perform a reboot for reconfig.
Set the attributes for a cell using any one of the following procedures:
