Partition Default Attributes
The pardefault command allows you to change the current default values of certain generic
nPartition attributes or attributes specific to an operating system (OS) type.
NOTE: The generic nPartition attributes are maintained independently for each supported OS
type to provide better configuration flexibility. This means that an OS type will always be selected
during an nPartition creation, with the default OS type being used if none is explicitly selected.
The following example shows the output of the pardefault command executed on a system
where the defaults are unchanged.
[Original Defaults]
Parcon Default OS Type : HPUX_11iV3
OS Type : HPUX_11iV3
Hyper Threading at activation : Enabled
SLM Percentage : 87.50%
