please help.....
i have an orca with 2 cells, cell0 and cell2
i need to remove cell2 from the original npar and create a new npar...

I thought orca's were bigger than two or four cells. I mean they are black and white and eat seals and swim quite well.

The first steps are to have a fully documented system.

What you want to do is reduce an npar and then create anew npar? This means you have to have enought IO cards, do you?

thank you harry...
yes, that's correct... i need to reduce my npar and create a new partition.
current config are:
[Cell]

CPU Memory Use
OK/ (GB) Core On
Hardware Actual Deconf/ OK/ Cell Next Par
Location Usage Max Deconf Conntected To Capable Boot Num
======== ====== ========== ========= ============== ========= ===== =====
cab0,cell0 Active Core 4/0/8 8.0/0.0 cab0,bay1,chassis3 yes yes 0
cab0,cell2 Active Base 4/0/8 8.0/0.0 cab0,bay0,chassis1 yes yes 0

Notes: * = Cell has no interleaved memory.

[Chassis]
Core Connected Par
Hardware Location Usage IO To Num
================== ============ ==== =========== ===
cab0,bay0,chassis1 Active yes cab0,cell2 0


[Chassis]
Core Connected Par
Hardware Location Usage IO To Num
================== ============ ==== =========== ===
cab0,bay1,chassis3 Active yes cab0,cell0 0


thanks again!

here's what i have planned so far:
# parmodify -p0 -d2 -B
# shutdown -R y 0

# parstatus -AC
# parcreate -c2:base:y:ri

# parmodify -p1 -P "hostname05"
# parmodify -p1 -r0/2
then modify the boot path with -b option.

is that all?
or does the same work with itanium based servers?

Thanks again!!
