adding a cpu to one of my npars 8600 platform

[sunseerie mckinnon_1]

hello. wondering if someone can answer a question for me. i have been looking at the man pages for parstatus modify and my question is this:

once the hp CE installs the additional cpu, do i boot my target npar, use parstatus modify to add the cpu, then reboot my target npar?
.
in the old days when i had my vpars, to do operations like that i had to have the target vpar down and run the commands from a vpar that was booted.

Last sunday i did same thing in a superdome and the procedura was (superdome running HP vPars):

- Shutdown target nPar
- parmodify target nPar from another running nPar, with -B option to get the partition atumaticaly booted after the cell was added
- Booted all vpars but the target vPar an assign memory a cpu to it.
- Booted target vPar.

And all went ok.

Regards!

thank you andre..

i don't have vpars on my 8600. i have 4 straight npars, so would your steps work the same?
1 ) install cpu
2) run parstatus modify from "another" npar to add the cpu
3) boot my target npar, and hopefully my cpu shows up.

Yes. If it works for a vPar it must works for a nPar as well.
