use_on_next_boot specifies whether the cell will participate in a reboot. The valid
values for use_on_next_boot are:
y participate in reboot. This is the default. However if the slot is missing or the
cell does not exist or the cell is powered off then it defaults to
n.
n do not participate in reboot.
At least one of the cells specified using the
-c option must contain core I/O with the
use_on_next_boot flag set to
y.
failure_usage field is used by system firmware when a partition is booted. If a CPU
selftest failure or a DIMM deallocation occurs during the power-on self-test process,
then this flag is used by the system firmware to determine whether or not and how
the cell should be integrated into the partition at boot time. The valid failure_usage
values for a cell are:
ri reactivate with memory interleave. Specifies to integrate the cell as it
would normally be integrated. This is the default for base cells.
float this is the default value for floating cells. If the user specifies ri for a
floating cell, the command displays an error and exits.
deconf deconfigure.
ni no interleave.
clm_value specifies the amount of the memory that will be configured as local (non-
interleaved) memory for the cell. The clm_value specified using the
-c option takes
precedence over the clm_value specified using the -L option. The command will
issue a warning if the specified clm_value exceeds the total memory of the cell.
Note: On PA platforms, the amount of memory allocated for CLM may not match
the amount of CLM requested due to some memory being reserved exclusively by
the operating system.
If no clm_value is specified, maximum interleaved memory (no CLM) is assumed for
cells. The command will issue a warning if 100% CLM is specified for all the cells
in the partition. The clm_value can be expressed in two forms:
• As a percentage (ratio). The percent number can be any number in the range 0 -
100 with a suffix of "%". This number will be rounded up to 12.5%, 25%, 37.5%,
50%, 62.5%, 75%, 87% or 100%. If the cell contains less than 4 GB memory,
then the percentage will be rounded to 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%. The specified
percentage is applied each time the partition boots, thus resulting in a different
value if the working memory in the cell is different. For example, a cell in a par-
tition has 8 GB memory and the user specifies 50% CLM. When the partition
boots, 4 GB of that cell’s memory will be used as CLM. Later the user shuts
down the partition, adds another 8 GB memory to that cell. When the partition
is booted again, the cell now has 16 GB of memory, so 8 GB (50%) is allocated as
CLM.
• As an absolute number (default). This can also be optionally suffixed by "GB".
The clm_value is interpreted as an absolute number of gigabytes of memory.
Numbers other than integers and halves are rounded up to the nearest 0.5 GB.
For example, 2.5 GB will not be rounded up. However 2.3 GB will be rounded
up to 2.5 GB. For example, a cell in a partition has 8 GB memory and the user
specifies 4 GB CLM. When the partition boots 4 GB of that cell’s memory will be
used as CLM. Later the user shuts down the partition, adds another 8 GB
memory to that cell. When the partition is booted again, the cell now has 16 GB
of memory, but the CLM is still 4 GB.
-g Allows access to the complex specified by the -h option. The accessed complex is
then considered the target complex. Access is through the service processor’s LAN
port.
The
-h option is required if this option is used.
If this option is specified, the command prompts for the password.
If an error is reported when you attempt to connect using this option, check to see
that IPMI LAN access has not been disabled on the remote service processor.
Access to the complex through IPMI over LAN can be enabled or disabled by logging
on to the service processor and using the
SA command from the Command Menu.
