Step 2. From the Command menu, enter the BO command and specify which
nPartition is to be booted (released from boot-is-blocked).
As a result of the BO command, the complex’s service processor releases
the selected partition’s cells from boot-is-blocked: the cells proceed to
rendezvous to form and active partition, which no longer is in a
ready for reconfig state.
Any of the partition’s cells that are not configured (those with a “n”
use-on-next-boot value) remain inactive at boot-is-blocked.
When the partition becomes active it proceeds through the normal boot
process and performs, as necessary, the boot action set for each of the
boot paths (PRI, HAA, ALT).
