HP-UX Reference (11i v3 07/02) - 1M System Administration Commands N-Z (vol 4)

p
parmodify(1M) parmodify(1M)
-d cell Delete the specified cell(s) from the partition. If the cell which is being deleted is an
active cell then after the execution of the
parmodify command the user must shut-
down the partition using the
shutdown -R
command for the configuration change
to take effect. If the
-B
option is also specified then the partition will boot up to the
command prompt. If the
-B option is not specified then the partition will have to be
booted manually from the service processor. Deletion of inactive cells does not require
a shutdown of the partition.
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.
-g Allows access to the complex specified by the
-h option. The accessed complex is then
considered the target complex. Access is through the service processor’s LAN port.
The
-h option is required if this option is used.
If this option is specified, the command prompts for the password.
If an error is reported when you attempt to connect using this option, check to see
that IPMI LAN access has not been disabled on the remote service processor. Access
to the complex through IPMI over LAN can be enabled or disabled by logging on to
the service processor and using the SA command from the Command Menu.
The -u and -g options are mutually exclusive.
-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).
-I IPaddress Specifies the IP address that should be used by management tools such as
parmgr to
address the target 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.
-k s_lock:p_lock Specifies the lock keys provided by parmgr for the Stable Complex Configuration
Data and Partition Configuration Data. The lock keys should always be specified in
pairs. If either lock key is not available
-1 should be specified as a placeholder. 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 intended for use by system management tools which invoke the
parmodify command programmatically. Command line users should avoid this
option.
-m cell:[celltype]:[use_on_next_boot]
:[failure_usage][:clm_value]
Modify attributes of cell(s) already assigned to the target partition. Please refer to the
explanation of the
-a option for details of the different fields in this option argument.
Note:
The use_on_next_boot field of the last cell containing core I/O cannot be modified to
n.
If modifying the CLM value of a cell in any partition other than the local partition,
it is preferable to use the -u option.
-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 a space then the name should be enclosed in double
quotes. The partition name can have a maximum of 64 characters; it 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 I/O. 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. Use of this option
will override previous core cell choices. So, if the order of a given cell is changing, all
of the core cell choices should be specified in the new order.
