Creating a new nPartition This section describes the procedure to create an nPartition using the OA CLI and the GUI. Creating a new nPartition using the OA CLI Use the parcreate command to create a new nPartition on HP Superdome 2. The command takes the specified blades and I/O bays and assigns them to the new nPartition. If an nPartition number is not specified, the command finds an available nPartition number and assigns it to the new nPartition. Likewise, if an nPartition name is not specified, a default name of the format nParnnnn (example: nPar0001) is given to the new nPartition (where, nnnn is a 4 digit nPartition number). Superuser permission is required to run this command from an operating system within a partition. When the command is invoked from the OA, it requires operator-level privilege or higher. This is applicable for all partition commands. For parstatus and vparstatus, you must have user level privilege or higher. To create a two-blade nPartition nextPartition that uses blades 1 and 3 in enclosure 1 and the IO slot in IOX enclosure 5, bay 1: parcreate -p nextPartition -a blade:1/1:::: -a blade:1/3:::: -a io:5/1: Creating a new nPartition using the OA GUI To create a new nPartition using the OA GUI: 1.

Creating a new nPartition
This section describes the procedure to create an nPartition using the OA CLI and the GUI.
Creating a new nPartition using the OA CLI
Use the
parcreate
command to create a new nPartition on HP Superdome 2. The command
takes the specified blades and I/O bays and assigns them to the new nPartition. If an nPartition
number is not specified, the command finds an available nPartition number and assigns it to the
new nPartition. Likewise, if an nPartition name is not specified, a default name of the format
nParnnnn (example: nPar0001) is given to the new nPartition (where, nnnn is a 4 digit nPartition
number). Superuser permission is required to run this command from an operating system within
a partition. When the command is invoked from the OA, it requires operator-level privilege or
higher. This is applicable for all partition commands. For
parstatus
and
vparstatus
, you
must have user level privilege or higher.
To create a two-blade nPartition
nextPartition
that uses blades 1 and 3 in enclosure 1 and
the IO slot in IOX enclosure 5, bay 1:
parcreate -p nextPartition -a blade:1/1:::: -a blade:1/3:::: -a io:5/1:
Creating a new nPartition using the OA GUI
