cab0,cell0 Active Core 4/0/4 8.0/0.0 cab0,bay0,chassis0 yes yes 0
cab0,cell1 Inactive 4/0/4 48.0/0.0 cab0,bay0,chassis1 no - -

This shows cell1 has NO core I/O card and is NOT capapble of creating a partition on it's own
As stated earlier, you weill need to purchase another MP card and insert it into the slot that is
vacant at the rear right hand side of the cabinet, where there is already one of these cards

The older version of MP is called gsp which generally does not recognise n partitions as an entity
I would ensure that you are on the most current version of the MP. The most recent version of
firmware is version 6.4
I have attached a word doc so that you can find out what version of firmware you are on. To do
this log onto the gsp them goto commandmode cm and then type sysrev.
Compare the two outputs.

If a console had hung, and then a shutdown had hung, I would still not have powered off the
complex (both partitions). I would run a rs command from cm on the mp. (This is like a soft
power off for an indivdual partition only). another useful command is the pe command because
you can physically power off indivdual elements of the complex. You could have powered off the
cell boards on the effected partition as well. Then powered them back on. and reset the partition.

To answer your question about consoles, yes and no. Do you use the lan console? you can
configure multiple sessions to log in to the mp. But only one person has control of a console at one
time. (you will see that if more than one person tries to access the console on the same partition
one person has control and can type. The others are locked out and can only view the console
output).
To bump a user off use the keystrokes ctrl + e c f

(holddown ctrl whilst pressing the e key then release both then press the letter c and then the letter
f)

I must admit I have never had the situation where a locked console meant that I had to power off
the complex, but I think the above will help you if it ever happens again.
