You can cancel a pending change to the Stable Complex Configuration Data for a cell-based server by unlocking the the Stable Complex Configuration Data before the service processor has pushed out the revised data for the entry.

For example, you can abort a cell assignment change when you have issued a request to unassign an active cell but manually unlock the effected Complex Profile entries before performing a reboot for reconfig of the nPartition to which the cell originally is assigned.

For background details see “Complex Profile”.

CAUTION: You should generally avoid manually unlocking Complex Profile entries because doing so can can result in the loss of configuration changes.

Procedure 6-26 Aborting Cell Assignment Changes

You can cancel a pending change to an active cell by using this procedure. Only changes involving the unassignment (deletion) of an active cell from an nPartition can practically be canceled.

  1. After issuing a request to unassign an active cell from its nPartition, do not perform a shutdown or reset of the nPartition.

    When the cell assignment of an active cell is pending, the Stable Complex Configuration Data is not pushed out until the cell is at the boot is blocked (BIB) state, which occurs during a reboot for reconfig or shutdown for reconfig of its nPartition.

  2. Issue a request to unlock the Stable Complex Configuration Data for the server where the cell assignment change is pending.

    Use one of the the procedures given in “Unlocking Complex Profile Entries”.
