Configuring and Managing Superdome Partitions
Procedures for Managing Partitions
Chapter 4182
Determine the partition number of the partition to which the cell is
assigned.
Step 2. List the current status for the partition.
Use the parstatus -p# command to list the partition’s status (active or
inactive); specify the partition number for the cell’s partition.
The partition to which the cell is assigned must be inactive, or the cell
must be assigned to the local cell.
Step 3. Remove the cell from the partition to which it is assigned.
If the cell is the last cell in the partition, you must instead use the
parremove command to remove the partition. (See “parremove
Command” on page 213 for details.)
To remove the cell from its partition, issue the parmodify command.
• If removing from the local partition, specify the -B option.
Specify parmodify -p# -d# -B and specify the partition number
(-p#) and the cell ID for the cell to be deleted (-d#).
• If removing from an inactive remote partition, you need not specify -B
unless you want to reboot the partition immediately.
Specify parmodify -p# -d# and specify the partition number (-p#)
and the cell ID for the cell to be deleted (-d#).
Specify -B when removing the remote partition’s cell only if you want
to reboot-for-reconfig the partition immediately after the cell is
removed.
Step 4. As necessary, perform a reboot-for-reconfiguration on the partition being
modified.
On the local partition, you must issue the shutdown -R command or the
reboot -R command to reboot the partition and perform the partition
reconfiguration (deleting the cell).
On the remote partition, if you did not specify -B, then use the GSP
command menu’s BO command to boot the partition.
