BCH You can list and set a cell’s use-on-next-boot setting by using the BCH

interface for the cell’s partition.

Use the following procedure to modify the use-on-next-boot settings from

BCH. Note that you cannot use the BCH interface to list or modify cell

failure-usage settings. Instead use HP-UX commands or Partition

Manager.

Step 1. Log in to the Superdome complex’s GSP, access the partition’s console,

and access the BCH main menu.

From the partition console you access the partition’s BCH interface. If

the partition is not at the BCH interface you must either boot the

partition or shut down HP-UX to return to the BCH interface.

Step 2. Access the BCH conﬁguration menu by entering CO from the BCH main

menu.

If you are at a BCH menu other than the main menu, enter MA to return

to the BCH interface’s main menu and then access the BCH

conﬁguration menu.

Step 3. From the BCH conﬁguration menu, use the CELLCONFIG command to

list or set each cell’s use-on-next-boot setting.

To list the use-on-next-boot settings for allcells in the partition, issue the

CELLCONFIG command with no arguments.

To change the use-on-next-boot setting for a cell, issue the

CELLCONFIG command: CELLCONFIG cell [ON|OFF]

Configuration Menu: Enter command > CELLCONFIG
