The valid use_on_next_boot values are:
y participate in reboot.
n do not participate in reboot.
The valid failure_usage value for cells is:
ri reactivate with memory interleave. Other values will be supported in future
releases.
-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.
-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. Use of this option will override previous root alternates selec-
tions. So, if the order of a given cell is changing, all of the alternate cells should be
specified in the new order.
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.
-d cell Delete the specified cells from the partition.
-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.
-P Partition Name Specifies the name of the partition. The characters which can appear in a valid parti-
tion 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.
-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 current partition, then the com-
mand proceeds only if the specified partition is not active. Also this option is necessary
only if
-a or -d option has been specified. Note: The partition in which the com-
mand is executing is called the current partition.
-k s_lock:p_lock Specifies the lock keys provided by SAM for Stable Complex Configuration Data and
Partition Configuration Data. The lock keys should always be specified in pairs. If any
lock key is not available -1 should be specified. 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 not available to the command line user.
Root permissions are required to run parmodify.
EXIT STATUS
The parmodify utility exits with one of the following values:
0 Successful completion.
1 Error condition occurred.
EXAMPLES
Add a new cell to the existing partition with Partition Number 2.
parmodify -p 2 -a 2/5:base:y:ri
Delete a cell from the existing partition with Partition Number 2.
parmodify -p 2 -d 2/5
