For OA Based Partition Management Systems
parmodify2(1M)
blade_path
specifies the blade resource path. It can be specified in short, medium, or long
format. For example, the blade located in enclosure 1, slot 3 is identified in
the short format as 1/3, in the medium format as
blade-1/3, or in the long
format as
enclosure1/blade3
.
-d io:iobay_path Deletes the specified I/O bay from the nPartition. To delete multiple I/O bays from
the nPartition, multiple
-d options should be used. If the I/O bay which is being
deleted is an active I/O bay then after the execution of the parmodify command the
user must reboot the nPartition for the change to take effect. For an nPartition run-
ning virtual partitions, individual virtual partitions have to be shut down and the
nPartition rebooted for the change to take effect. Deletion of inactive I/O bay does
not require a reboot of the nPartition.
iobay_path
specifies the I/O bay resource path. It can be specified in short, medium, or
long format. For example, I/O bay 1 with enclosure 7 can be specified in the
short format as
7/1, in the medium format as
iobay-7/1, or in the long for-
mat as
enclosure7/iobay1
.
-m blade :blade_path :[blade_type]
:[use_on_next_boot]
:[failure_usage]
: [slm_value ]
Modifies attributes of a blade already assigned to the nPartition. Please refer to the
explanation of the
-a blade option for details of the different fields in this option
argument.
-m io:iobay_path:[use_on_next_boot][
:failure_usage]
Modifies attributes of an I/O bay already assigned to the nPartition. Please refer to
the explanation of the
-a io option for details of use_on_next_boot and failure_usage
fields in this option argument.
-n res_type :ia_value
Specifies the new 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.
If an active nPartition (
-p
) is targeted by the parmodify operation, the current
partition specification is updated to reflect the new Intended Active value and will
take into effect at the next nPartition reboot.
-B Specifies to reboot the nPartition now. The default is not to boot. This option is
useful only if the
-a option or the -d option or a slm_value has been specified.
-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 type of operating
system specified by the user through
-O option.
-L slm_value Used with -a and -m 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 -m option results in no action being
taken.
However, any slm_value specified using the
-a or -m options overrides the -L
option.
Please refer to the explanation of the
-a or -m option for details of the slm_value
formats.
The default memory settings will depend on the type of operating system specified
by the user through the
-O option.
The default memory setting is also dependent on the boot mode of the nPartition.
System may choose to have a different default memory setting for the nPartition in
virtual partitions mode for ease of virtual partition configuration. However, if user
has specified a value for memory setting, that will be applied independent of the
mode of operation.
