parcreate(1M) parcreate(1M)
-k s_lock Specifies a lock key for the Stable Complex Configuration Data provided by
parmgr.
Note: The
-k option is intended for use by system management tools which invoke
the parcreate command programmatically. Command line users should avoid this
option.
-L clm_value Specifies the amount of the memory that will be used as local (non-interleave)
memory per cell. The clm_value specified using the
-c option takes precedence over
the clm_value specified using the
-L option. Please refer to the explanation of the -c
option for details of the clm_value formats.
-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. The partition name can have a maximum of 64 characters. The partition
name should not start with a dash (
-).
-r cell Specifies the core cell choices. A core cell choice is a configured cell which has
attached core IO. If the core cell of a partition is deleted then the firmware will select
the first core cell choice as the next core cell. One to four core cell choices can be
specified. The first cell specified is the first core cell choice, the second cell specified is
the second core cell choice, the third cell specified is the third core cell choice and the
fourth cell specified is the fourth core cell choice.
A cell 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.
-s path Specifies the secondary boot path. path specifies a physical hardware path. Note: On
Itanium-based platforms, boot paths cannot be set or modified on a non-local partition.
You must use the SP console interface to set any boot path of the newly created parti-
tion.
-T flag Specifies whether Hyper-Threading should be enabled or not (only if cell support this
feature). By default Hyper-Threading is disabled. The valid values for flag are:
y enables Hyper-Threading, which allows multiple threads to run concurrently on
each CPU.
n disables Hyper-Threading, this is the default value.
-t path Specifies the alternate boot path. path specifies a physical hardware path. Note: On
Itanium-based platforms, boot paths cannot be set or modified on a non-local partition.
You must use the SP console interface to set any boot path of the newly created parti-
tion.
-u username[:] 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.
If this option is specified, the command prompts for the password.
username specifies a configured user name on the target partition.
Note: This command is a Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) Client Appli-
cation. 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.
Mapping of Global Cell Numbers to Local Cell Numbers
The cabinets in a complex are numbered starting from 0. The cell slots in each cabinet are also numbered
starting from 0. Each cabinet can have a maximum of 8 cells. For example, the cells located in cabinet 0
will have the following cell numbers in global format: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. The cell numbers in correspond-
ing local format will be 0/0, 0/1, 0/2, 0/3, 0/4, 0/5, 0/6, 0/7.
Similarly the cells located in cabinet 1 will have the following cell numbers in global format: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,
13, 14, 15. The cell numbers in corresponding local format will be 1/0, 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7.
From the above convention the cell located in cabinet 1, slot 0 is identified in the local format as 1/0 or in
the global format as 8. The parstatus command displays the above cell as "cab1,cell0". The cell located
in cabinet 1, slot 4 is identified in the local format as 1/4 or in the global format as 12. The parstatus
