superdome repartitioning

[Telia BackOffice]

I have this question; I have done a reconfiguration of 4 npar in a 16 way SD into one npar, now if I do a top I get the following information on a top:

CPU LOAD USER NICE SYS IDLE BLOCK SWAIT INTR SSYS
0 0.01 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 100.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
4 0.06 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 100.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
8 0.00 0.0% 0.0% 2.0% 98.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
12 0.00 0.0% 0.0% 1.0% 99.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
--- ---- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
avg 0.02 0.0% 0.0% 1.0% 99.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%

Where it should be something like 16CPUs and not 4. How do I change that CPU OK/Deconf/Max. That is where I think the problem is: nodus:/#parstatus -C [Cell]
CPU Memory Use
OK/ (GB) Core On
Hardware Actual Deconf/ OK/ Cell Next Par
Location Usage Max Deconf Connected To Capable Boot Num
========== ============ ======= ========= =================== ======= ==== ===

Hi,

Are you using Icod on your SD ? Perhaps you still have only 4 processors enabled. Try icod_stat.

Hi,

Yes I checked that your cpu are not automatically activated in this case. You have to use icod_modify.

how to activate:
Total processors: 16
Active processors: 4
Inactive processors that can be activated: 12
Inactive processors that cannot be activated: 0
Deconfigured processors: 0
Requested active processors: 4

So the command is :

Step 1. Login to the nPar in which you will be activating or deactivating
processors.
You can activate or deactivate processors in only the local nPartition (the nPar in which you issue the icod_modify command).
Step 2. Issue the icod_modify command with either the -a # option (to activate
# processors) or -d # option (to deactivate # processors).
You must include the following details after the -a or -d option. This information is recorded in the nPar???s iCOD change log.
[ description]: user_name: mgr_name: mgr_email: mgr_phone
These details provide an optional description of the change, the name of the user/person making the change, and the authorizing manager,
manager???s e-mail address, and manager???s phone number.
For example, to activate two processors (-a 2):

# icod_modify -a 2 "two CPUs added":Ann:Joe:jdoe@comp.com:555-5555

or to set active processor number to 16 :

# icod_modify -s 16 "activate 16 CPUs total":Ann:Joe:jdoe@comp.com:555-5555

you can also do this from the BCH:

shutdown and halt at bch as normal,
The CPU command allows activation and deactivation.
ICOD notify will run as part of startup.

Alternatively, you can ignite the box from an image of a system with full cpu allocation (no icod) - but I don't think that's supported.. and maybe it doesn't work any more!!
This reply will probably be deleted too...

Good luck!
