BCH This procedure (Configuration menu, COC command) sets the core cell
choices for an nPartition using the partition’s BCH interface.
Step 1. Access the BCH menu for the nPartition whose core cell choices you wish
to set.
Step 2. Access the BCH Configuration menu for the partition.
From the BCH Main menu, enter CO to enter the Configuration menu.
Step 3. Issue the COC command to check current core cell choice preferences.
Entering COC with no arguments lists all core cell choice preferences.
Step 4. Issue the COC command with arguments to set or change the nPartition’s
core cell choice preferences.
The COC command syntax is: COC choice cell , where choice is 0–3
(with 0 being the highest-priority choice) and where cell is the cell ID.
For example, COC 0 2 sets the most preferred core cell choice to be
cell ID 2. Likewise, COC 1 4 sets the next (second-highest priority) core
preference to be cell ID 4.
Use the HELP COC command for other details about the COC command.
Step 5. (Optional.) If you have changed the setting for the highest-priority core
cell choice (choice 0) and you want the cell you have specified to become
the active core cell, then issue the BCH menu’s REBOOT command.
This step is optional.
Even if you do not perform this step, the new core cell choice settings will
be used the next time the nPartition is rebooted.
HP-UX Commands This procedure (parstatus and parmodify commands) lists and sets the
core cell choices for an nPartition using HP-UX commands.
Step 1. Issue the parstatus -V -p # command to list the nPartition’s current
core cell choices and core cell use.
