Step 5. If you have changed the setting for the core cell, and you want the cell
you have specified to immediately become active as the core cell, reboot
the partition: issue the BCH menu’s REBOOT command.
This step is optional. If you do not perform this step, the active core cell
will change (if you’ve modified the setting) the next time the partition is
rebooted.
HP-UX Commands This procedure uses HP-UX commands to set the core cell and core
alternate cell preferences for a partition.
Step 1. Check the current core cell settings and core cell use.
Use the parstatus -V -p# command to list detailed partition status,
including the current active core cell, and the alternate core cell settings.
The active (current) core cell is listed by parstatus as the “Core Cell”.
The core cell preferences are listed by parstatus as “Core Cell
Alternates”. The “Core Cell Alternate” settings that parstatus lists, if
any, indicate the preferred core cell as “1” and the core alternates, if any,
as “2” through “4”.
