I have a rp7420 using both cell boards with only one partition. As you may know, you can put up to 4 internal disks. We currently are using 2 but would like to use the other 2. The issue is that when I add the disks, it can't be seen with ioscan. I believe I have to activate those slots using parmodify but I've never done that so I have no idea where to begin.
Your help is greatly appreciated...
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Enable Disks from other cell board
cell 0 is not core capable, hence no disks.
Hope this helps!

SolutionModify the nPartition core cell choices using the parmodify -p# -r#... command.
You can modify the core cell choices for the local nPartition or any remote nPartition in the
server complex.
Use the following command: parmodify -p# -r# -r#...
Specify the nPartition number (-p#) and the cell ID (-r#) for all cells you wish to designate
as core cell choices.
# parmodify -p0 -r2 -r0
Command succeeded.
#
The order in which you list the cells is the order in which the nPartition core cell choices are
established; the first cell listed is the first preferred core cell (choice 1), and the subsequent
cells are lower-priority core cell choices (choices 2 through 4, if specified).

Re: Enable Disks from other cell board
Please post
# ioscan -fn
to check, but I'm quite sure after reading your parstatus.
Hope this helps!

Re: Enable Disks from other cell board
The answer was a combination of both.
Installed MP Card and Ran parmodify command and all is good.
Good Job Guys...
