nPartition Administrator's Guide

2. Issue the parstatus -V -p# command to list the current core cell choices and core cell
use for an nPartition.
The parstatus -V -p# command list detailed status for the specified nPartition (-p#
where # is the nPartition number).
The nPartition status includes the current active core cell ("Core Cell"), and any core cell
choice settings.
The core cell choice preferences are listed by parstatus as the "Core Cell Alternate" settings
with "1" being the highest priority and "2" through "4" as the lower priority core cell choices.

3. Modify the nPartition core cell choices using the parmodify -p# -r#... command.
You can modify the core cell choices for the local nPartition or any remote nPartition in the
server complex.
Use the following command: parmodify -p# -r# -r#...
Specify the nPartition number (-p#) and the cell ID (-r#) for all cells you wish to designate
as core cell choices.
# parmodify -p0 -r2 -r0
Command succeeded.
#
The order in which you list the cells is the order in which the nPartition 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).
Procedure 6-27 Setting Core Cell Choices (Partition Manager)
You can set core cell choices by using Partition Manager.
When using Partition Manager Version 1.0, select the nPartition to configure, select the
Partition→Modify Partition action, and use the Core Cell Choices tab.
When using Partition Manager Version 2.0, select the nPartition to configure, select the
nPartition→Modify nPartition action, select the Set Cell Options tab, and use the Core Cell
Choice column to set priorities.
