DESCRIPTION
The
parmodify command is used to modify the attributes of an existing partition. By default the target
partition is the local partition. Either the -u
or the -g option can be specified to allow this command to
modify any other partition in the (local or remote) complex. This command can modify the following attri-
butes:
Partition name
Cell assignment:
Add cells to the partition
Delete cells from the partition
Attributes of existing cells:
celltype
use_on_next_boot
failure_usage
clm_value (cell local memory)
Core cell choices
Primary boot path
HA Alternate boot path
Secondary boot path
Partition’s IP address
By the nature of its operation, this command can modify the configuration of its target complex. Opera-
tion can be affected by the state of the target complex’s nPartition Configuration Privilege. If the nParti-
tion Configuration Privilege is unrestricted (the default), or the complex is accessed using the
-g option,
all operations are allowed. Otherwise any of the operations below causes the command to fail:
• add cells to any partition in the complex
• delete cells from any partition in the complex
• modify the CLM parameters of any cell in the complex
The
-g option is unaffected by the state of the nPartition Configuration Privilege. Note: The state of the
nPartition Configuration Privilege can only be changed at the service processor’s Command menu.
Root permission is required to run this command on the local partition. If the
-u or -g option is used to
access a remote partition or complex, root permission is not required on the local system, and the local
system need not exist on an nPartition. If the -u option is specified, username on the remote host must
have root permission or the command will fail.
Please refer to the HP System Partitions Guide for a description of the partition management terms used
in this man page.
Options and Arguments
parmodify recognizes the following command line options and arguments:
-p PartitionNumber Specifies the partition to be modified. PartitionNumber specifies the unique
number (integer) assigned to the partition when it was created. Note: The partition
which is specified to be modified is called the target partition. The partition in
which the command is executing is called the local partition.
Note: One or more of the following options must be specified.
