Mapping of Global Cell Numbers to Local Cell Numbers
The cabinets in a complex are numbered starting from 0. The cell slots in each cabinet are also numbered
starting from 0. Each cabinet can have a maximum of 8 cells. For example, the cells located in cabinet 0
will have the following cell numbers in global format: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. The cell numbers in
corresponding local format will be 0/0, 0/1, 0/2, 0/3, 0/4, 0/5, 0/6, 0/7.
Similarly the cells located in cabinet 1 will have the following cell numbers in global format: 8, 9, 10, 11,
12, 13, 14, 15. The cell numbers in corresponding local format will be 1/0, 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7.
From the above convention the cell located in cabinet 1, slot 0 is identified in the local format as 1/0 or in
the global format as 8. The
parstatus command displays the above cell as "cab1,cell0". The cell
located in cabinet 1, slot 4 is identified in the local format as 1/4 or in the global format as 12. The
par-
status command displays the above cell as "cab1,cell4". See parstatus (1).
RETURN VALUE
The
parcreate command exits with one of the following values:
0 Successful completion.
1 Error condition occurred.
EXAMPLES
Create a new partition
myPartition with two cells. One of the cells is located in cabinet 0, slot 4. The
celltype for the cell is base. The failure_usage policy for this cell is
ri. The CLM value for this cell is 1
GB.
The other cell is located in cabinet 0, slot 6. The celltype and failure_usage are not specified for this cell.
The use_on_next_boot for both cells is
y.
parcreate -P myPartition -c 0/4:base:y:ri:1GB
-c 6::y: -b 0/0/1/2.6 -t 0/0/1/3.6
-s 0/0/1/4.6 -r 0/4
Create a new partition nextPartition
with two cells. The cells are located in cabinet 0, slot 0 and slot
1. This example uses the default values for the cells. The default celltype will be
base
. The default
failure_usage policy will be
ri
. The default use_on_next_boot will be y. By default there will be no CLM
for the cells.
parcreate -P nextPartition -c 0::: -c 0/1:::
WARNINGS
Activation of Instant Capacity (iCAP) components (cells and CPUs) is possible with the parcreate com-
mand. This may result in the requirement to purchase such components to stay in compliance with a
customer’s iCAP contract.
DEPENDENCIES
This command uses the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) product and some of its
configuration settings. If you encounter connection errors when using the
-u option, check that the fol-
lowing two conditions are satisfied:
• Use the
cimconfig command (see cimconfig(1M) in the WBEM product documentation) to verify
(and correct if necessary) the setting of the following two variables:
•
enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess=true
• enableHttpsConnection=true
• The target partition’s digital certificate has been appended to the local partition’s Shared Authentica-
tion Store. For the nPartition commands, the Shared Authentication Store is stored in the file:
/etc/opt/hp/sslshare/known_hosts.pem. This file is used by all the clients, which use SSL
based certificates. If these clients trust a target partition, then the nPartition commands will also
trust the target partition.
Refer to the WBEM documents specified in the SEE ALSO section below for further information.
