If you have changed any cell from OFF (“n”, do not use on next boot)
to ON (“y”, use the cell on next boot) then you must perform these two
tasks; this resets and reconfigures the partition and boots it.
HP-UX This procedure (parmodify -p # -m # ...) lists and sets the
use-on-next-boot and failure usage settings for cells using HP-UX
commands.
Step 1. Log in to HP-UX running on the nPartition.
You can log in to HP-UX on the partition either by connecting with
telnet or rlogin, or by logging in to its complex’s service processor and
accessing the partition’s console.
Connecting through the service processor allows you to maintain
partition console access after HP-UX has shut down.
Step 2. From the HP-UX command line, use the parstatus command to list the
use-on-next-boot and failure usage attribute settings for cells in the
server complex.
You can list and modify any cell’s settings from HP-UX running on any
partition in the server complex.
Use either parstatus -C or parstatus -V -c# to list the cell attribute
settings. The following examples and text describe both these commands.
• A use-on-next-boot value of “yes” means the cell will be active as part
of the partition the next time the partition boots.
