8.8.2. Setting Primary Boot Cell During Partitioning

If you are performing system partitioning actions, you can set the primary boot cell of a
partition, if necessary, using the following procedure. However, when you create a
partition, the first cell selected is the primary boot cell by default, so you might not have
to set one.

This procedure is preferred only if you need to change the primary boot cell for more
than one partition. The procedure does not enable you to set a secondary boot cell. To
set the primary boot cell for one partition or to set the secondary boot cell for any
partition, refer to

8.8.1 Setting Primary and Secondary Boot Cells.

Caution

Changing the primary boot cell is not recommended unless the cell becomes
disabled or you need to replace the hardware.

To set the primary boot cell

1. Log on to the remote console interface for the system and navigate to the

partitioning page.

2. Click

Move cells between partitions

.

3. Select the desired boot cell from the membership list for a partition.

Note: If the desired cell is not a member of the partition, you must first add it to the
partition membership and then select it as the boot cell. Refer to

8.2 Rules for

Partitioning

and

8.4 Moving Cells to Other Partitions

for more information.
