Setting and Checking nPartition
Core Cell Choices
The core cell choice settings for an nPartition are optional preferences
that establish which cells in the partition are preferred to be selected as
the core cell for the partition.
You can list and set an nPartition’s core cell choices by using these
methods:
• BCH on page 242
This procedure (Configuration menu, COC command) sets the core cell
choices for an nPartition using the partition’s BCH interface.
• HP-UX Commands on page 242
This procedure (parstatus and parmodify commands) lists and sets
the core cell choices for an nPartition using HP-UX commands.
• Partition Manager on page 244
This procedure (Partition —> Modify Partition action, Cell Cell
Choices tab) sets the core cell choices for an nPartition using Partition
Manager.
NOTE You do not need to specify core cell choices for a valid core cell to be
chosen. By default, system firmware selects the lowest numbered eligible
cell as an nPartition’s active core cell.
NOTE You can specify only core-capable cells as core cell choices. A cell must
have an I/O chassis with core I/O attached in order to be eligible as a core
cell choice.
