Assign DCUs to a PDomain

You can assign as few as one and as many as four DCUs to a non-Bounded PDomain. A Bounded PDomain can have only one DCU assigned to it.

The following task requires that the user account for the PDomain has a user role of admin (a).

  1. For Bounded PDomains only, unassign the currently assigned DCU from the PDomain.

    See Unassign DCUs From a PDomain.

  2. Check the availability of DCUs.

    Only DCUs listed as available can be assigned to a PDomain.

    This example shows that only DCU2 and DCU3 are available for assignment to PDomain_1, which is a non-Bounded PDomain.

    -> show /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_1/HOST dcus_available
      /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_1/HOST DCU_2,DCU_3
        Properties:
            dcus_available = /SYS/DCU2 /SYS/DCU3

    Note - If the DCU you want to assign is not listed, you must locate and unassign it before it will be available. See Unassign DCUs From a PDomain.


  3. Specify which DCU should be assignable to the current PDomain.

    The dcus_assignable property enables you to control which DCUs can be assigned to a PDomain.

    -> set /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_1/HOST dcus_assignable="/SYS/DCU2"
    Set dcus_assignable to /SYS/DCU2
    ->

    Note - When you make a DCU available for assignment to a non-Bounded PDomain with the dcus_assignable property, the DCU is not added to the list of available DCUs; it replaces the existing DCUs. For example, if you start with dcus_assignable=DCU0, and you want both DCU0 and DCU1 to be available for assignment, you must specify dcus_assignable=/SYS/DCU0 /SYS/DCU1. If, instead, you specify dcus_assignable=/SYS/DCU1, the list of available DCUs will be changed to only DCU1; DCU0 will no longer be included in the list.


  4. Assign a DCU to the current PDomain.
    -> set /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_1/HOST/ dcus_assigned="/SYS/DCU2"
    Set dcus_assigned to /SYS/DCU2
    ->
  5. Type the following commands and wait for them to return the following values to ensure that subsequent executions of /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_1/HOST will be able to run to completion.
    1. When you first run the following command, the system might return a value of operation_in_progress = Host DCU reconfiguration in progress. Continue to run the command until you receive the following output.
      -> show /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_1/HOST operation_in_progress
       /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_1/HOST
        Properties:
           operation_in_progress = none
      ->
    2. Run this command until the system returns the following information.
    -> show /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_1/SP
    /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_1/SP
     Targets:
         network
         powermgmt
         services
         sessions
     Properties:
         current_hostname = xxx-xxx-xx-spp0
         hostname = xxx-xxx-xx-spp0
     Commands:
         cd
         reset
         set
         show
         version
    ->

    Waiting for these two commands to complete ensures that subsequent executions of start /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_1/HOST will be able to run to completion.

  6. Verify that the DCU was added to the PDomain.
    -> show /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_1/HOST dcus_assigned
    /Servers/PDomains/PDomain_1/HOST
      Properties:
          dcus_assigned = /SYS/DCU2
    ->
