Adding the cell(s) to the nPartition should create a configuration that
adheres to the hardware requirements and performance guidelines.
Step 5. After you add the new cells to the partition’s cell list, click the OK button.
The cells are not actually assigned to the nPartition until after the next
step.
Step 6. Review the information shown in the Notes and Warnings, the Summary of
Changes
, and the HA Checks tabs.
Partition Manager generates this information when it checks details of
the new partition configuration, such as cell compatibility and various
high-availability guidelines.
To cancel all partition changes, click the Cancel button in the Notes and
Warnings window and then click Cancel in the Modify Partition window.
To proceed with adding the cell(s) to the partition, click OK.
Step 7. Once Partition Manager confirms that the “partition has been
successfully modified” click the OK button.
The cells are assigned to the nPartition after clicking OK in the previous
step. However, any cells you have added to an active nPartition will
remain inactive until you perform a reboot for reconfig of the modified
nPartition.
Step 8. As needed, perform a reboot for reconfig (shutdown -R) of the modified
nPartition.
See the Reboot for Reconfig Guidelines on page 214 for details on when to
perform a reboot for reconfig.
