Platform Support Remarks
This
parmodify describes functionality on systems not running Onboard Administrator (OA)
based partition management. For parmodify on systems with OA based partition management,
refer to parmodify2 (1M) by typing man parmodify2.
DESCRIPTION
The
parmodify command is used to modify the attributes of an existing partition. By default the target
partition is the local partition. Either the -u or the -g option can be specified to allow this command to
modify any other partition in the (local or remote) complex. This command can modify the following attri-
butes:
Partition name
Cell assignment:
Add cells to the partition
Delete cells from the partition
Attributes of existing cells:
celltype
use_on_next_boot
failure_usage
clm_value (cell local memory)
Core cell choices
Primary boot path
HA Alternate boot path
Secondary boot path
Partition’s IP address
By the nature of its operation, this command can modify the configuration of its target complex. Opera-
tion can be affected by the state of the target complex’s nPartition Configuration Privilege. If the nParti-
tion Configuration Privilege is unrestricted (the default), or the complex is accessed using the
-g option,
all operations are allowed. Otherwise any of the operations below causes the command to fail:
• add cells to any partition in the complex
• delete cells from any partition in the complex
• modify the CLM parameters of any cell in the complex
The
-g option is unaffected by the state of the nPartition Configuration Privilege. Note: The state of the
nPartition Configuration Privilege can only be changed at the service processor’s Command menu.
Superuser permission is required to run this command on the local partition. If the
-u or -g option is
used to access a remote partition or complex, superuser permission is not required on the local system,
and the local system need not exist on an nPartition. If the -u option is specified, username on the
remote host must have superuser permission or the command will fail.
Refer to the nPartition Administrator’s Guide for a description of the partition management terms used
in this man page.
