| “Creating a Genesis Partition” | Establish a one-cell partition. This "Genesis
Partition" can be used for all subsequent partition configurations
in a Superdome server's complex. | GSP |
“Restoring a Complex Profile” | Revert to the previous complex profile configuration. | GSP |
“Determining the Local (Current) Partition Number” | Determine which partition you currently
are using. Known as the "local partition". | BCH HP-UX: parstatus |
| “Creating a New Partition” | Create a partition, using at least one available
cell that is connected to an I/O chassis with core I/O installed. | HP-UX: parcreate Partition Manager (parmgr) |
“Deleting (Removing) a Partition” | Remove a partition definition, thus making
its cells and I/O available for other use. | HP-UX: parremove Partition Manager (parmgr) |
“Naming and Renaming Partitions” | Establish the partition's name, which
is used in various reports and console menus. | BCH HP-UX: parmodify Partition Manager (parmgr) |
“Modifying Partitions' Boot
Paths” | Set the boot device paths, including
the PRI, ALT, and HAA devices. | BCH HP-UX: parmodify |
| “Adding Cells to a Partition” | Add an additional cell to an existing
partition. | HP-UX: parmodify Partition Manager (parmgr) |
| “Removing Cells from a Partition” | Remove a cell (and any associated I/O) from
a partition, thus making the cell and I/O available for other use. | HP-UX: parmodify Partition Manager (parmgr) |
“Setting and Checking a Partition's
Core Cell Choices” | Set and list which cell(s) are to be
used as the "core cell" if the primary core cell
fails. | BCH HP-UX: parmodify Partition Manager (parmgr) |
| “Setting and Checking Cell Attributes” | Set and list cell attributes, including
the "use-on-next-boot" setting. | BCH HP-UX: parstatus, parmodify Partition Manager (parmgr) |
| “Moving Cells to a Different Partition” | Use software tools to assign cells (and
associated I/O) to different partitions. This can involve
running the appropriate software tools on multiple partitions. | HP-UX Partition Manager (parmgr) |
“Moving I/O to a Different Partition” | Using software only, you can accomplish
this by assigning the corresponding cell (to which the I/O is connected)
to a different partition. | HP-UX Partition Manager (parmgr) |
| “Moving an I/O Chassis to a Different
Cell” | HP Service Personnel Only Accomplish
this by reconfiguring the cell-to-I/O cables. | None. Must reconfigure the hardware. |
“Listing All Configured Partitions” | List all partitions currently configured
within a Superdome complex. | GSP HP-UX: parstatus Partition Manager (parmgr) |
“Listing Cell Partition Assignments” | List all cells, or selected cells, within
a Superdome complex, including the cells' partition configuration
status. | HP-UX: parstatus |
“Consolidating Multiple Partitions” | Reassign all cells in one partition to
belong to another partition. | HP-UX Partition Manager (parmgr) |
“Unlocking Complex Profiles” | Use With Extreme Caution Unlock
the Stable Complex Configuration Data and/or the Partition Configuration
Data for one of the complex's partitions. | HP-UX: parunlock |
