not at a ready for reconfig state. If this is the case, go back to Step 3 and
ensure all nPartitions are inactive at a ready for reconfig state.
Step 7. Issue the BO command to boot the Genesis Partition past its
ready for reconfig state and make it an active nPartition.
When a Genesis Partition is created, it remains at boot-is-blocked (in an
inactive, ready for reconfig state), so you must boot it manually.
The Genesis Partition always is assigned partition number 0, because
when it is created it is the first and only nPartition in the server complex.
Using the BO command to boot partition 0 will boot the Genesis Partition
to its Boot Console Handler (BCH) interface.
Step 8. Access the Genesis Partition’s console and configure the partition as
appropriate and necessary.
From the service processor Command menu, enter MA to return to the
Main menu, then enter CO to access the Console menu. The Genesis
Partition is partition 0 and by default is named “Partition 0”.
You will need to set the boot paths (PRI, ALT, and HAA), any core cell
choices, the partition name, and other settings as appropriate. You also
may need to add cells to the Genesis Partition if you want it to have more
than one cell.
