NAME
parolrad - online activation of a cell from nPartition; cancel online cell operation; monitor online cell opera-
tion; reset hung cell during cell activation
SYNOPSIS
parolrad
{-a cell
|-c sequence#
|-r cell
|-m
|-x
|-f
|-u username [:] -h
IPaddress|hostname }
DESCRIPTION
The
parolrad command performs several cell online functions such as cell online activation
canceling online activations or monitoring an online cell operation, and resetting a cell that is hung during
cell online activations. The target partition is the local partition by default. When an online operation is
initiated, a sequence number is returned and displayed on standard output.
The online operation can be affected by the state of the target complex’s nPartition Configuration Privilege.
A complex can be configured at the service processor’s Command menu. If the nPartition Configuration
Privilege is unrestricted (the default), all operations are allowed. If it is not unrestricted and this command
is invoked to reset a cell that is hung in a non-local partition, the command will fail.
Refer to the HP System Partitions Guide for a description of the partition management terms used in this
man page.
Options and Arguments
parolrad recognizes the following command line options and arguments.
-a cell Online activation of a cell in the target partition. The specified target cell should be
assigned to the target partition. The use_on_next_boot flag of the cell should be set to
y. The system firmware on the target cell needs to support online cell operations. The
underlying operating system in the target nPartition also needs to support online cell
operations. The cell must be in the Boot Is Blocked (BIB) state and no other online cell
operations may be in progress. The active cell’s system firmware needs to support
online cell operations.
cell specifies the cell id. It 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.
-c sequence# Cancel an online cell operation.
sequence# specifies the sequence number for canceling the online cell operation. This
sequence number is returned back to the user when an online cell operation is initiated.
The sequence number can also be determined by using the parstatus command.
-f Initiate the online cell operation without prompting for confirmation. By default online
cell operations prompt for confirmation whether to continue with the operation or not.
-h IPaddress|hostname
This option should only be used in with the -u option. IPaddress|hostname specifies
the IP address or hostname of the target partition (
-u).
-m Monitor a currently executing online cell operation.
The information displayed includes: status of the online cell operation, type of online cell
operation in progress, result of online cell operation upon completion, and so on.
-r cell Reset an in-flight cell which failed during an online cell operation.
cell specifies cell id. It 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.
-x Turn off monitoring. By default, the parolrad command monitors the status of
online cell operations.
