When you right-click on the Hard Partition icon, the following menu options appear. Some items are not active (they are grayed out) unless you have taken exclusive control of the AMU system.
|
Power On OS/SROM |
Power on the hard partition; the start level is set to OS/SRM. |
|
Power On XSROM |
Power on the hard partition; the start level is set to XSROM. |
|
Power Off |
Power off the hard partition. Since the CPUs are controlled in pairs, if the dual CPU module is split across partitions, the power may not be turned off, but flagged as "available to power off". Therefore, selecting Power Off may not produce a loss of power. |
|
Reset OS/SRM |
Reset the hard partition; the start level is set to OS/SRM. |
|
Reset XSROM |
Reset the hard partition; the start level is set to XSROM. |
|
New Sub Partition... |
This menu item is enabled only if the hard partition is powered off. Select it to create a new subpartition within the hard partition. You only need to provide a name to create a subpartition. The type of subpartitions created are always soft subpartitions. A name must be a unique, case-sensitive string of between 1 and 19 alphanumeric characters. |
|
Delete Hard Partition |
This menu item is enabled only if all subpartitions within the selected hard partition are powered off. When the hard partition is deleted, all of its subpartitions are also deleted and all the partition’s resources are returned to the platform's free pool. |
|
Assign To Hard Partition's Free Pool |
This menu item is enabled only if the hard partition is powered off and one or more CPUs from any subpartition of this hard partition are selected in the partitions view. Selecting this item assigns the selected CPUs to the hard partition’s free pool. |
