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. Operation
can be affected by the state of the target complex’s nPartition Configuration Privilege. If the nPartition
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.
Superuser 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, superuser 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 superuser permission or the command will fail.
Refer to the nPartition Administrator’s 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
