To put an nPar in an inactive, ready for reconfig state: if HP-UX is
running use the shutdown -R -H command, or if at the Boot Console
Handler (BCH) interface use the RECONFIGRESET command.
None of an inactive cell’s resources (processors, memory, or any I/O
connected to the cell) are available for use in an nPartition. For the cell’s
processors and other hardware resources to be used, the cell must be
assigned and active in an nPartition.
Deconfigured
Processors
A deconfigured processor is a processor that has been made
unavailable for use by its nPartition through settings enabled by Boot
Console Handler (BCH) menu commands.
You can deconfigure processors using the BCH Configuration menu’s
CPUCONFIG command. Also use this command to configure processors
that have been deconfigured.
Using BCH commands to configure and deconfigure processors requires
rebooting the nPar in which the processors reside. For this reason
deconfiguring processors is not the recommended method of making
processors inactive for iCOD purposes.
Instead, the recommended method is to deactivate processors using the
icod_modify -d... HP-UX command, which can instantly make
processors deactivated and activated without rebooting.
