Platform Support Remarks
parolrad is currently not supported on systems with Onboard Administrator (OA) based partition
management.
DESCRIPTION
The
parolrad command performs several cell online functions such as cell online activation and deac-
tivation, canceling online activations or monitoring an online cell operation, and resetting a cell that is
hung during cell online activations. The target partition is the local partition by default. When an online
operation is initiated, a sequence number is returned and displayed on standard output.
The online operation can be affected by the state of the target complex’s nPartition Configuration
Privilege. A complex can be configured at the service processor’s Command menu. If the nPartition
Configuration Privilege is unrestricted (the default), all operations are allowed. If it is not unrestricted
and this command is invoked to reset a cell that is hung in a non-local partition, the command will fail.
Refer to the nPartition Administrator’s Guide for a description of the partition management terms used
in this manpage.
Options and Arguments
parolrad recognizes the following command line options and arguments:
-a cell Online activation of a cell in the target partition. The specified target cell should be
assigned to the target partition. The use_on_next_boot
flag of the cell should be
set to
y. The system firmware on the target cell needs to support online cell opera-
tions. The underlying operating system in the target nPartition also needs to support
online cell operations. The cell must be in the Boot Is Blocked (BIB) state and no
other online cell operations may be in progress. The active cell’s system firmware
needs to support online cell operations.
cell specifies the cell id. It can be specified either in the local (cabinet# /slot#) or glo-
bal (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.
-c sequence# Cancel an online cell operation.
sequence# specifies the sequence number for canceling the online cell operation. This
sequence number is returned back to the user when an online cell operation is ini-
tiated. The sequence number can also be determined by using the
parstatus com-
mand.
-d cell Online deactivation of a cell from the target partition. All I/O cards attached to the
cell must be removed using the olrad command. Only floating cells can be deac-
tivated online.
cell specifies cell id. It 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.
-h IPaddress|hostname
This option should only be used in with the -u option. IPaddress|hostname specifies
the IP address or hostname of the target partition (-u).
