POWERON PARTITION
From the CLI
• Command:
POWERON PARTITION {{<nPar ID>} [:vPar ID>] | ALL} [FORCE] [OVERRIDE]
}
• Description:
If an nPartition is specified, this command powers on the blades and IO interconnects in the
nPartition and boots the nPartition to EFI. If the nPartition is in vPars mode and has vPars
defined, then all the defined vPars in the nPartition are booted to EFI. If an individual vPar
is specified, it is booted to EFI.
If the nPartition is in nPars mode and a vPar is specified to be powered on, the OVERRIDE
argument changes the mode of the nPartition to vPars, powers on the nPartition and boots
the specified vPar.
If the nPartition is in vPars mode and has no vPars defined, the nPartition is powered on to
reach an active state. Once the nPartition is active, new vPars can be created and individually
powered on to reach EFI.
