nPartition Administrator's Guide

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.
4. Exit the console and service processor interfaces if finished using them.
To exit the BCH environment type ^B (Control-B); this exits the nPartition console and
returns to the service processor Main Menu. To exit the service processor, type X at the Main
Menu.
Procedure 6-25 Setting Core Cell Choices (EFI Shell)
From the EFI Shell environment, use the rootcell command to set core cell choices for the
local nPartition. The EFI Shell is available only on HP Integrity systems.
1. Access the EFI Shell environment for the nPartition whose core cell choices you want to
configure.
Login to the service processor (MP or GSP) and enter CO to access the Console list. Select
the nPartition console.
When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main
EFI menu). If at another EFI menu, select the Exit option from the sub-menus until you
return to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select the EFI Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell
environment.
2. At the EFI Shell interface enter the rootcell command to list or set the core cell choices
for the local nPartition.
Enter the rootcell command with no arguments to display the current core cell choice
list.
Enter the rootcell clear command to clear the list of preferred core cells.
Enter rootcell c0 c1... to specify up to four choices, with c0 being the highest-priority
choice and c0-c3 being the cell numbers.
3. Exit the console and service processor interfaces if finished using them.
To exit the EFI environment type ^B (Control-B); this exits the nPartition console and returns
to the service processor Main Menu. To exit the service processor, type X at the Main Menu.
Procedure 6-26 Setting Core Cell Choices (nPartition Commands)
From the command line, use the parmodify command to configure the core cell choices for an
nPartition. You also can use the parstatus -V -p# command to list the core cell choices for
an nPartition (-p# where # is the nPartition number).
NOTE: You can remotely perform this task using remote administration options supported by
the Enhanced nPartition Commands or Partition Manager Version 2.0. Remote administration
is supported by the Partition Manager Tools→Switch Complexes action and by the nPartition
command -u... -h... options or -g... -h... options.
For details see “Tools for Configuring nPartitions” (page 165).
1. Login to a system with the nPartition commands installed.
If using remote administration features to set core cell choices, you can login to any system
with Enhanced nPartition Commands installed.
