Procedures for Managing nPartitions
Setting and Checking nPartition Core Cell Choices
HP System Partitions Guide: Administration for nPartitions—rp7410

The order in which you list the cells is the order in which the nPartition’s
core cell choices are established; the first cell listed is the first preferred
core cell (choice 1), and the subsequent cells are lower-priority core cell
choices (choices 2 through 4, if specified).
Step 3. (Optional.) If you wish to immediately use the new core cell choice
settings, reboot the nPartition whose core cell choices you have changed.
This step is optional. Even if you do not reboot now, the new core cell
choices will be used the next time the nPartition is rebooted.
You can issue the shutdown command with the -r option to reboot the
partition and use the new core cell choice settings. (You do not need to
perform a reboot for reconfig of the partition.)
If you have modified an inactive remote partition, use the service
processor Command menu’s BO command to boot the remote partition;
the designated core cell choices will be used to select the active core cell.
Partition Manager This procedure (Partition —> Modify Partition action, Cell Cell Choices tab)
sets the core cell choices for an nPartition using Partition Manager.
Step 1. Run Partition Manager (/opt/parmgr/bin/parmgr) or access it from
SAM or a Web browser.
Step 2. In the Partition Manager primary window, select the nPartition whose
core cell choices you want to change.
Click the partition’s name in the list on the left side of the primary
window to select the nPartition.
Step 3. Select the Partition —> Modify Partition action, and click the Cell Cell
Choices
tab.
Step 4. Modify the core choice setting for each cell whose core choice priority you
want to revise.
Highlight the cell whose core cell choice you want to configure, select the
desired choice priority (1st, 2nd, none, etc.) from the Core Cell Choice
pop-up list, and click the Modify button to modify the priority.
Step 5. Click the OK button when done changing the core choice priorities (or
click Cancel to not revise any priorities).
