parolrad(1M)parolrad(1M)NAMEparolrad - online activation or deactivation of a cell from nPartition;
cancel online cell operation; monitor online cell operation; reset hung
cell during cell activation
SYNOPSIS
username
DESCRIPTION
The command performs several cell online functions such as cell online
activation and deactivation, 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 com‐
plex's nPartition Configuration Privilege. A complex can be configured
at the service processor's Command menu. If the nPartition Configura‐
tion 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 for a description of the partition management terms used
in this manpage.
Options and Arguments
recognizes the following command line options and arguments:
Online activation of a cell in the target partition.
The specified target cell should be assigned to the
target partition. The flag of the cell should be set
to The system firmware on the target cell needs to
support online cell operations. The underlying oper‐
ating 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.
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 opera‐
tion is initiated. The sequence number can also be
determined by using the command.
Online deactivation of a cell from the target partition.
All I/O cards attached to the cell must be removed
using the command. Only floating cells can be deac‐
tivated online.
cell specifies cell id. It can be specified either
in the local (cabinet#/slot#) or global (cell#) for‐
mat. 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.
This option should only be used in with the
option. IPaddress|hostname specifies the IP address
or hostname of the target partition
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.
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#) for‐
mat. 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.
Specify the username for accessing a partition
other than the local system. This option can also be
used for loopback access to the local partition.
The colon is optional and is present for Linux com‐
patibility reasons.
The 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 tar‐
get partition.
Note: This command is a Web-based Enterprise Manage‐
ment (WBEM) Client Application. The option accesses
the target partition using a Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) connection. If errors are reported, check that
the conditions described in the section are satis‐
fied.
Turn off monitoring.
By default, the command monitors the status of online
cell operations.
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 eight cells. For example, the cells located in cabi‐
net 0 will have the following cell numbers in global format: 0, 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7. The corresponding local format cell numbers are: 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 corre‐
sponding local format cell numbers are: 1/0, 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5,
1/6, 1/7.
For example, the cell located in cabinet 1, slot 0 is identified in
local format as 1/0 and in global format as 8. The command will dis‐
play this cell as "cab1,cell0". For another example, the cell located
in cabinet 1, slot 4 is identified in local format as 1/4 and in global
format as 12. The command will display this cell as "cab1,cell4".
RETURN VALUES
The command exits with one of the following values:
Successful completion.
Error condition occurred.
EXAMPLES
Add a new cell in cabinet 0 slot 2 to the local partition 0.
Activate the added cell online.
Monitor an online cell operation currently in progress.
DEPENDENCIES
This command uses the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) product
and some of its configuration settings. If you encounter connection
errors when using the option, check that the following two conditions
are satisfied:
· Use the command (see cimconfig(1M) in the WBEM product documenta‐
tion) to verify (and correct, if necessary) the setting of the fol‐
lowing two variables:
·
·
· The target partition's digital certificate has been appended to the
local partition's Shared Authentication Store. For the nPartition
commands, the Shared Authentication Store is stored in the file:
This file is used by all the clients, which use SSL based certifi‐
cates. If these clients trust a target partition, then the nParti‐
tion commands will also trust the target partition.
Refer to the WBEM documents specified in the section below for further
information.
