NAME
parcreate - create a new partition
SYNOPSIS
parcreate [-P PartitionName][-I IPaddress]
-c cell:[cellType]:[use_on_next_boot]:[failure_usage][-c...]
[-b path][-t path][-s path][-r cell][-r...] [-B][-k s_lock]
DESCRIPTION
The parcreate command creates a new partition. This command takes the specified cells (and any
attached I/O chassis) from the free cell list and assigns them to the partition.
This command finds an available partition id and assigns it to the new partition. It returns the partition id
of the newly created partition.
Options and Arguments
parcreate recognizes the following command line options and arguments:
-P PartitionName Specifies the name of the new partition. The characters which can appear in a valid
partition name are a-z, A-
Z, 0-9, - (dash), _ (underscore), " " (space) and
. (period).
If the partition name includes space then the name should be enclosed within double
quotes.
-I IPaddress Specifies the IP address that should be used by management tools (like SAM) to
address this 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.
-c cell:[cellType]:[use_on_next_boot
]:[failure_usage]
Specifies the cell(s) to be assigned to the partition.
cell specifies the cell id. It can be specified either in the local (cabinet#/slot#) or global
(slot#) format. For example, the cell located in cabinet 2, slot 4 is locally identified as
2/4 or globally as simply 20.
cellType specifies the cell type. The current valid cellType value is:
base, which is
the default if cellType is not specified.
use_on_next_boot specifies whether the cells will participate in a reboot. The current
valid values for use_on_next_boot are:
y participate in reboot. Default.
n do not participate in reboot.
The valid value for failure_usage is:
ri reactivate with interleave. This is the default. Other values will be supported in
future releases.
-b path Specifies the primary boot path. path specifies the physical hardware path.
-t path Specifies the alternate boot path. path specifies the physical hardware path.
-s path Specifies the secondary boot path. path specifies the physical hardware path.
-r cell Specifies the root alternates. One to four cells can be specified. The first cell specified
is the first root alternate cell, the second cell specified is the second root alternate cell,
the third cell specified is the third root alternate and the fourth cell specified is the
fourth root alternate.
A cell can be specified either in the local (cabinet#/slot#) or global (slot#) format. For
example, the cell located in cabinet 2, slot 4 is locally identified as 2/4 or globally as
simply 20.
-B Specifies to boot the partition. The default is not to boot.
-k s_lock Specifies a lock key for the Stable Complex Configuration Data provided by SAM. This
option is not available to the command line user.
At least one of the cells specified must contain core I/O with the use_on_next_boot flag set to "y".
Root permissions are required to run this command.
