Canceling Pending Changes to the Complex Profile

You can cancel a pending change to the Stable Complex Configuration Data for a cell-based
server by unlocking the the Stable Complex Configuration Data before the service processor has
pushed out the revised data for the entry.
For example, you can abort a cell assignment change when you have issued a request to unassign
an active cell but manually unlock the effected Complex Profile entries before performing a
reboot for reconfig of the nPartition to which the cell originally is assigned.
For background details see
CAUTION:
doing so can can result in the loss of configuration changes.
Procedure 6-26 Aborting Cell Assignment Changes
You can cancel a pending change to an active cell by using this procedure. Only changes involving
the unassignment (deletion) of an active cell from an nPartition can practically be canceled.
1. After issuing a request to unassign an active cell from its nPartition, do not perform a
shutdown or reset of the nPartition.
When the cell assignment of an active cell is pending, the Stable Complex Configuration
Data is not pushed out until the cell is at the boot is blocked (BIB) state, which occurs during
a reboot for reconfig or shutdown for reconfig of its nPartition.
2. Issue a request to unlock the Stable Complex Configuration Data for the server where the
cell assignment change is pending.
