parmodify(1M) parmodify(1M)

• 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 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, but the CLM is still 4 GB.

-B Speciﬁes to reboot the partition now. The default is not to boot. If this option is

speciﬁed and the partition to be modiﬁed is not the local partition, then the com-

mand proceeds only if the speciﬁed partition is not active. Also this option is useful

only if the -a option or the

-d option or a clm_value has been speciﬁed.

-b path Speciﬁes the primary boot path. path speciﬁes a physical hardware path. Note: On

Itanium-based platforms, only boot paths of the local partition can be modiﬁed.

-d cell Delete the speciﬁed cell(s) from the partition. If the cell which is being deleted is an

active cell then after the execution of the

parmodify command the user must

shutdown the partition using the

shutdown -R

command for the conﬁguration

change to take effect. If the

-B option is also speciﬁed then the partition will boot

up to the command prompt. If the -B option is not speciﬁed then the partition will

have to be booted manually from the service processor. Deletion of inactive cells

does not require a shutdown of the partition.

A cell can be speciﬁed either in the local (cabinet# /slot#) or global (cell# )format.

For example, the cell located in cabinet 0, slot 1 is identiﬁed in the local format as

0/1 or in the global format as 1.

-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.

The

-u and -g options are mutually exclusive.

-h IPaddress|hostname

This option should only be used in combination with either the -u or -g option.

IPaddress|hostname speciﬁes the IP address or hostname of the target partition

(

-u) or complex (-g).

-I IPaddress Speciﬁes the IP address that should be used by management tools such as parmgr

to address the target partition. This value must be consistent with the IP address

that is assigned to the partition once HP-UX is installed and networking is

conﬁgured.

-k s_lock :p_lock Speciﬁes the lock keys provided by parmgr for the Stable Complex Conﬁguration

Data and Partition Conﬁguration Data. The lock keys should always be speciﬁed in

pairs. If either lock key is not available -1 should be speciﬁed as a placeholder.

For example: if the s_lock is available but the p_lock is not available, then it should

be speciﬁed as -k s_lock:-1.

Note: The

-k option is intended for use by system management tools which invoke

the parmodify command programmatically. Command line users should avoid

this option.

-m cell:[celltype]:[use_on_next_boot]:[failure_usage][:clm_value]

Modify attributes of cell(s) already assigned to the target partition. Please refer to

the explanation of the -a option for details of the different ﬁelds in this option argu-

ment. Note:
