when i use parcreate error ....
DB[/]# parcreate -c0:base:y:ri
Note: It may take a longer time for the partition to boot if
any cell is performing power-on selftest.
Error: None of the specified cells have core I/O.
Note: Attached core I/O may be undetected if the cells are performing selftest.

what is mean????

Hi,
to create a partition, the cell need to be connect to an IO chassis which have core IO card. Core IO card, generally present in slot 0, permit the console access to the partition. Generally this card have one serial and one lan connection.

If you are creating a new Npar then It should have Core I/O,a nd boot path should be mentioned while creating Npar. Please refer man pages for parcreate for more information.
