precedence over the clm_value specified using the
-L option. The command will issue a
warning if the specified clm_value exceeds the total memory of the cell.
Note: On PA-RISC platforms, the amount of memory allocated for CLM may not match the
amount of CLM requested due to some memory being reserved exclusively by the operating
system.
If no clm_value is specified, maximum interleaved memory (no CLM) is assumed for cells.
The command will issue a warning if 100% CLM is specified for all the cells in the partition.
The clm_value can be expressed in two forms:
• As a percentage (ratio). The percent number can be any number in the range 0 - 100
with a suffix of "%". This number will be rounded up to 12.5%, 25%, 37.5%, 50%, 62.5%,
75%, 87% or 100%. If the cell contains less than 4GB memory, then the percentage will
be rounded to 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%. The specified percentage is applied each time
the partition boots, thus resulting in a different value if the working memory in the cell
is different. For example, a cell in a partition has 8GB memory and the user specifies
50% CLM. When the partition boots, 4GB of that cell’s memory will be used as CLM.
Later the user shuts down the partition, adds another 8GB memory to that cell. When
the partition is booted again, the cell now has 16GB of memory, so 8GB (50%) is allo-
cated as CLM.
• As an absolute number (default). This can also be optionally suffixed by "GB". The
clm_value is interpreted as an absolute number of gigabytes of memory. Numbers other
than integers and halves are rounded up to the nearest 0.5GB. For example, 2.5GB will
not be rounded up. However 2.3GB will be rounded up to 2.5GB. For example, a cell in
a partition has 8GB memory and the user specifies 4GB CLM. When the partition boots
4GB of that cell’s memory will be used as CLM. Later the user shuts down the partition,
adds another 8GB memory to that cell. When the partition is booted again, the cell now
has 16GB of memory, but the CLM is still 4GB.
-u username:[passwd]
Specifies the required authorization to access a partition other than the local system (but
can also be used as a loopback access to the local partition).
The -h option is required if this option is used.
username specifies a configured user name on the target partition.
passwd specifies the password associated with the username. If this field is empty, the
command prompts for the password.
Note: This command is a Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) Client Application.
The -u option accesses the target partition using a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection.
If errors are reported, check that the conditions described in the DEPENDENCIES section
are satisfied.
SECURITY WARNING: Specifying the password directly on the command line may pose a
security risk in your environment. The ps or other related commands can be invoked in
such a way as to display the command line of a process. In this situation, any authenti-
cated user on the system can potentially see the password while the process is executing.
Hence, it is highly recommended not to specify the password on the command line, and
instead allow the command to prompt for the password.
Note: Specifying passwd on the command line will not be supported in future releases.
-h IPaddress|hostname
This option should only be used in combination with either the -u or -g option.
IPaddress|hostname specifies the IP address or hostname of the target partition (-u)or
complex (
-g).
-g [passwd] Allows access to the complex specified by the -h option. The accessed complex is then con-
sidered the target complex. Access is via the service processor’s LAN port.
The -h option is required if this option is used.
passwd specifies the IPMI password of the service processor. If this field is omitted, the
command prompts for the password.
