For service processor commands, see "Command Reference for Service Processor Commands" (page 80). • EFI Boot Manager and EFI Shell Commands On cell-based HP Integrity servers, the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) supports nPartition management. The EFI is accessible from an nPartition console when the nPartition is in an active state but has not booted an operating system. See "Command Reference for EFI Shell Commands" (page 81) for details. • BCH Menu Commands On cell-based PA-RISC servers, the Boot Console Handler (BCH) interface supports management from an nPartition console when the nPartition is in an active state but has not booted an operating system. See "Command Reference for BCH Menu Commands" (page 84) for details. • nPartition Commands You can configure, manage, and monitor nPartitions and hardware using the nPartition commands such as parstatus, parcreate, parmodify, and others. Two versions of the nPartition commands are available: the Original nPartition Commands and Enhanced nPartition Commands. The Original nPartition Commands are used only on HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) releases prior to the December 2004 release. The Enhanced nPartition Commands are supported for HP-UX, Windows, and Linux. The same base set of features is available in both nPartition commands versions. However, the Enhanced nPartition Commands include new options, such as remote administration abilities, and include the cplxmodify command. See "Commands for Configuring nPartitions" (page 19) for details. • Partition Manager (/opt/parmgr/bin/parmgr) Partition Manager provides a graphical interface for configuring, modifying, and managing nPartitions and hardware within a server complex. Two versions of Partition Manager are available: Version 1.0 and Version 2.0. Partition Manager Version 1.0 is used only on HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) releases prior to the December 2004 release and relies in part on the Original nPartition Commands. Partition Manager Version 2.0 is supported for HP-UX and Windows and relies in part on the Enhanced nPartition Commands. Although both Partition Manager versions support a similar set of tasks, the Partition Manager Version 2.0 release provides a significantly improved graphical interface, a new Web-based management interface, and remote administration abilities. See "Partition Manager" (page 22) for details. Commands for Configuring nPartitions You can use the nPartition commands to create, modify, monitor, and remove nPartitions; get detailed server hardware information; manipulate attention indicators (LEDs) and power; and modify server complex attributes such as the complex name. Table 1-3 describes the two nPartition commands releases, the Original nPartition Commands and the Enhanced nPartition Commands. The nPartition commands include: parcreate, parmodify, parremove, parstatus, parunlock, fruled, frupower, and cplxmodify. Table 1-4 "nPartition Commands Descriptions" briefly describes each of the commands. When using these commands, specify cells and I/O chassis using the notations in "Specifying Cells and I/O Chassis to Commands" (page 243). Administration Tools for nPartitions 19
