Options and Arguments
The parolrad command recognizes the following command line options and arguments.
-a cell
Online activation of a cell in the target partition. The specified
target cell should be assigned to the target partition. The
use_on_next_boot flag of the cell should be set to y. The
system firmware on the target cell needs to support online cell
operations. The underlying operating system in the target
nPartition also needs to support online cell operations. The cell
must be in the Boot Is Blocked (BIB) state and no other online
cell operations may be in progress. The active cell's system
firmware needs to support online cell operations.
cell specifies the cell id. It can be specified either in the local
(cabinet#/slot#) or global (cell#) format. For example, the cell
located in cabinet 0, slot 1 is identified in the local format as 0/1
or in the global format as 1.
-c sequence#
Cancel an online cell operation.
sequence# specifies the sequence number for canceling the online
cell operation. This sequence number is returned back to the
user when an online cell operation is initiated. The sequence
number can also be determined by using the parstatus
command.
-f
Initiate the online cell operation without prompting for
confirmation. By default online cell operations prompt for
confirmation whether to continue with the operation or not.
-h IPaddress|hostname
This option should only be used in with the -u option.
IPaddress|hostname specifies the IP address or hostname of the
target partition (-u).
-m
Monitor a currently executing online cell operation.
The information displayed includes: status of the online cell
operation, type of online cell operation in progress, result of
online cell operation upon completion, and so on.
-r cell
Reset an in-flight cell which failed during an online cell
operation.
cell specifies cell id. It can be specified either in the local
(cabinet#/slot#) or global (cell#) format. For example, the cell
located in cabinet 0, slot 1 is identified in the local format as 0/1
or in the global format as 1.
-x Turn off monitoring. By default, the parolrad command
monitors the status of online cell operations.
