Parmodify Command - HP Rp7410 - Server - 0 MB RAM Administrator's Manual

parmodify Command

You can use the parmodify command to modify the following attributes of an existing nPartition:
• Partition name
• Cell assignments (add cells or remove cells)
• Attributes of existing cells:
— Cell type
— Use-on-next-boot value
— Failure usage
— Enhanced nPartition Commands only: Cell local memory (CLM) value
• Core cell choices
• Enable or disable Hyper-Threading (only on supported cells)
• Boot paths (the primary, alternate, and HA alternate paths)
• IP address (if set, this value should be consistent with the IP address assigned to the nPartition
when HP-UX is booted)
Root permission or IPMI LAN access is required to use this command.
NOTE: On servers based on the HP sx1000 chipset or HP sx2000 chipset, when the nPartition
Configuration Privilege is restricted the parmodify command cannot add or remove cells from
an nPartition and cannot modify the CLM value of any cell. These restrictions do not apply when
using the -g... -h... options.
Refer to the parmodify(1M) manpage for complete details.
Synopsis
The parmodify command supports slightly different options for the Original nPartition
Commands and Enhanced nPartition Commands.
Original nPartition Commands
parmodify -p PartitionNumber
-a cell:[type]:[use_on_next_boot]:[failure_usage] [-a...] |
-m cell:[type]:[use_on_next_boot]:[failure_usage] [-m...] |
-I IPaddress | -r cell [-r...] | -d cell [-d...] | -b path | -t path |
-s path | -P PartitionName | -B
Enhanced nPartition Commands
parmodify -p PartitionNumber
-a cell:[type]:[use_on_next_boot]:[failure_usage][:clm] [-a...] |
-m cell:[type]:[use_on_next_boot]:[failure_usage][:clm] [-m...] |
-I IPaddress | -r cell [-r...] | -d cell [-d...] | -b path | -t path |
-s path | -P PartitionName | -B | -T flag |
[-u username -h IPaddress|hostname | -g -h IPaddress|hostname ]
• The -u... -h... set of options may be specified to cause the command to send its
management request using WBEM to an nPartition other than the local nPartition (but can
also be used as a "loopback access" to the local nPartition).
• The -g... -h... options may be specified to cause the command to send its management
request using IPMI over LAN to a service processor in another server complex (but can also
be used as a "loopback access" to the service processor in the local complex).
The -u and -g options are mutually exclusive.
The -p option is required.
