Service Processor
(GSP or MP)
This procedure (Command menu RR command) resets an nPartition to a
ready for reconfig state from the service processor.
Step 1. Log in to the server complex’s service processor and enter CM to access
the Command menu.
Step 2. At the service processor Command menu, enter the RR command, specify
which nPartition is to be reset, and confirm whether to reset it to a
ready for reconfig state.
The service processor’s RR command resets all cells in the partition,
performs any partition reconfigurations, and halts all cells at a
boot-is-blocked state, thus making the partition and all its cells inactive.
Be certain to correctly select the nPartition to be reset.
If you are accessing the service processor using a single-partition-user
account, the RR command selects which partition is to be reset: the
partition that your account allows you to access.
If using an operator or administrator GSP account, you can select which
of the server complex’s partitions you want to reset.
