What could possibly go wrong?

Dynamic nPartitions commands return a message if the operation cannot proceed as intended. The
following table gives some troubleshooting hints.
Message
The cell shall be assigned
to the local (target) nPar.
The cell shall be at BIB
(completed POST).
The Use On Next Boot
flag shall be set to true for
the target cell.
There shall not be a cell
OL* operation already in
progress on the local
(target) nPar.
The OS on the target
nPar shall support cell
online operations.
vPar monitor shall not be
running on the target
nPar.
The system FW in the
active cells in the target
nPar shall support cell
OLAD.
The system FW in the
target cell shall support
cell OLAD.
The target cell shall be
compatible with the
existing active cells in the
local (target) nPar.
There shall not be a
pending profile at the time
of the OL* operation
initiation.
The cell shall be active.
The cell shall be a
floating cell.
All cards in the I/O
chassis attached to the
target cell shall be
deconfigured.
Likely Cause
The cell to be online activated or
deactivated is not already a member
of the target partition.
In the case of online cell migration, the
cell to be online activated is still
completing its power on initialization
after being online deactivated from its
previous partition.
The Use On Next Boot flag was set to
false when the target cell was added
to its partition.
There is already a cell online
activation or deactivation operation in
progress in the target partition.
The Dynamic nPartitions feature is not
installed.
The parolrad command was issued
from a vPars instance.
The firmware on the cells already in
the partition does not support Dynamic
nPartitions.
The firmware on the cell being
activated does not support Dynamic
nPartitions.
The cell being activated is not
compatible with the cells already in
the partition.
An administrator has used the
parmodify command to modify the
partition in a way that requires a
reboot for the change to take effect.
You are trying to deactivate a cell that
is not already active.
You are trying to deactivate a base
cell.
The cell been deactivated has an
active I/O chassis.
Remedy
Assign the cell to the partition
before activating it.
Wait for one minute, or until
parstatus shows the state of the
target cell to be "Inactive".
Use the parmodify command to
set the Use On Next Boot flag
to true.
Wait for the previous operation
to complete. The command
parolrad -m will monitor the
progress of that operation.
Install the DynamicNPars
product from HP-UX 11i v3
Update 1.
Use the vPars processor and
memory migration facilities
instead of parolrad.
Upgrade the system firmware
on all cells to at least the
minimum version specified in
the
firmware
matrix.
Make adjustments so that all of
the cells have the same
processor type and the same
system firmware version.
Reboot the partition so that the
pending profile can take effect.
Check for a typo in the cell
identifier.
Check for a typo in the cell
identifier.
Quiesce the I/O, then use the
olrad command to deactivate
the I/O chassis.
