To list the use-on-next-boot settings for all cells in the partition, issue
the CELLCONFIG command with no arguments.
To change the use-on-next-boot setting for a cell, issue the CELLCONFIG
command with arguments: CELLCONFIG cell [ON|OFF]
For example, CELLCONFIG 6 OFF sets the use-on-next-boot setting for cell
6 to OFF. This causes the cell to be inactive (not rendezvous and thus not
be used) the next time the partition boots.
Step 4. Reboot the partition to use the cells’ new use-on-next-boot settings.
If you have changed any cell use-on-next-boot settings for the partition,
you should reboot the partition in either of two ways:
• Use the BCH interface’s REBOOT command to perform a reboot.
If you have only changed cell configurations from ON to OFF then
perform a reboot using the REBOOT command. Any cells set to not be
used will still be assigned to the partition but will not be used (will
not rendezvous) in the partition.
• Use the BCH interface’s RECONFIGRESET command to put the
partition in a ready for reconfig state, then use the service processor
Command menu’s BO command to boot the partition.
