Procedures for Managing nPartitions
Creating a New nPartition

Step 3. Use the parmodify command to modify the new nPartition’s
configuration and set the partition name (-P), boot paths (-b, -s, and
-t), and any core cell choices (-r).
When using the parmodify command you must use the -p # option to
specify the partition number for the nPartition. Use the partition
number that the parcreate command reported in Step 2.
When each modification takes place, parmodify reports “Command
succeeded”. Otherwise it reports any problems.
You can specify each configuration option on a separate command line or
can combine all options into a single, longer command line.
For details on the various options for modifying partition settings, see
the parmodify(1M) manpage.
Step 4. Use the parstatus -V -p# command to list all details about your
newly created and configured partition.
If any configuration details should be modified, use the parmodify
command before you boot the partition in the next step.
# parmodify -p1 -P "hostname05"
Command succeeded.
# parmodify -p1 -r0/4 -r0/6
Command succeeded.
# parmodify -p1 -b 4/0/1/0/0.9
Command succeeded.
#
# parstatus -V -p1
