use_on_next_boot are:
y participate in reboot. This is the default.
n do not participate in reboot.
failure_usage
This field is used by system firmware when an nPartition is booted. If a
failure happens during the I/O bay activation, then this flag is used by the sys-
tem firmware to determine whether or not and how the I/O bay should be
integrated into the nPartition at boot time. The valid failure_usage values for
I/O bay are:
ri Specifies to integrate the I/O bay as it would normally be
integrated. This is the default.
deconfig reactivate the nPartition with the I/O bay excluded from activa-
tion.
-n res_type :ia_value
Specifies the Intended Active value of the resource type for the nPartition. The valid
value for res_type is case-insensitive
core. The ia_value has to be a positive
number which will be passed to the iCAP software as a hint requested by the user
as the Intended Active value for activation in the nPartition.
-p nPartition_id Specifies the number or name for the nPartition to be created.
If
-p number is specified, the specified number is used as the nPartition number for
the nPartition. If -p number is not specified, an nPartition number is automatically
assigned to the created nPartition. Valid partition numbers range from 1-255.
If
-p name is specified, the specified name is used as the name for the nPartition to
be created. Note that the user can also use the -P option to specify the name of the
nPartition. Attempts to specify the nPartition name using both
-p and -P options
in the same command line will be considered invalid. An nPartition name should at
least have one of the following non-numeric character a-z, A-Z, dash (
-), under-
score (_), or period (.). No other non-numeric character is allowed in an nPartition
name. The nPartition name should not start with a dash (
-). An nPartition name
with the same format as the default name can only be specified if the specified name
matches the nPartition number. If the name is not specified either through the
-p
or -P options, a default name of the format nParNNNN is given to the nPartition
(where NNNN is a 4 digit nPartition number).
-B Specifies that the new nPartition be booted. The nPartition is booted till the EFI
prompt. The default is not to boot.
-C parspec_name[:create_partition_flag]
Creates only a partition specification. The partition specification specified becomes
the current partition specification if an nPartition is also requested to be created.
parspec_name
specifies the name of the partition specification to be created. The maximum
length of parspec name is 190 characters.
create_partition_flag
specifies whether the corresponding nPartition itself is created. The valid
values for create_partition_flag are:
y the corresponding nPartition is created.
n the corresponding nPartition does not get created. This is the default.
Note:
-C and -Z options are mutually exclusive.
-G memory_granularity_type:size
Specifies the memory granularity (ILM or SLM) in megabytes (MB) for the nParti-
tion. The default memory granularity value will depend on the operating system
type specified by the user through the -O option.
-L slm_value Used with the -a and -c options to specify the amount of the memory that will be
used as Socket Local Memory (SLM) per blade.
Use of the
-L option without either the -a or -c option results in no action being
taken.
