Procedures for Managing nPartitions
Setting and Checking Cell Attributes

The reactivate-with-interleave setting allows a cell to actively join its
partition following processor or memory failures during the cell’s self
tests. The cell joins its partition if at least one processor and any valid
amount of memory passes self tests. Any of the cell’s components that
fail (processors or memory) are not available to the partition.
After changing a cell’s attributes, the new attribute settings are used
starting the next time the nPartition and cells are rebooted.
BCH This procedure (Configuration menu, CELLCONFIG command) lists and
sets a cell’s use-on-next-boot setting from the BCH interface for the cell’s
partition.
From the BCH interface you can modify only cell use-on-next-boot
settings.
Step 1. Log in to the complex’s service processor, access the partition’s console,
and access the BCH interface.
From the partition console you access the partition’s BCH interface. If
the partition is not at the BCH interface you must either boot the
partition or shut down HP-UX to return to the BCH interface.
Step 2. Access the BCH Configuration menu by entering CO from the BCH Main
menu.
If you are at a BCH menu other than the Main menu, enter MA to return
to the Main menu and then enter CO to access the Configuration menu.
Step 3. From the BCH configuration menu, use the CELLCONFIG command to
list or set each cell’s use-on-next-boot setting.
