Enabling Partitions

A partition must be enabled before users can run programs on it.

Prerequisite

Before enabling a partition, you must disable any partitions that share nodes with the partition that you are about to enable.

Setting enabled

To enable a partition, set its enabled attribute.

[node0]
P(part0):: set enabled[node0] P(part0):: 

Now the partition is ready for use.

Enabling a partition has the side effect of setting the partition attribute of every node in that partition.

If you try to enable a partition that shares a node with another enabled partition, mpadmin prints an error message.

[node0]
P(part1):: show        set nodes = node1 node2 node3
        set enabled
[node0] P(part1):: current part2[node0] P(part2):: show        set nodes = node1
[node0] P(part2):: set enabledmpadmin: part1/node1: partition resource conflict
