- For remote administration using WBEM the tool remotely accesses an operating system running on an nPartition in the target complex. Use the -u... -h... set of parmodify options or the Partition Manager Switch Complexes action and "remote nPartition" option. - For remote administration using IPMI over LAN the tool remotely accesses the service processor of the target complex. Use the -g... -h... set of parmodify options or the Partition Manager Switch Complexes action and "remote partitionable complex" option. See "Remote and Local Management of nPartitions" (page 41) for details. nPartition Modification Tasks The following tasks are among the basic procedures for modifying nPartitions. • Assigning and Unassigning Cells To assign (add) or unassign (remove) cells from an nPartition use the parmodify -p# -a#... command to add a cell, or the parmodify -p# -d#... command to remove a cell from the specified nPartition (-p#, where # is the partition number). From Partition Manager select the nPartition, use the nPartition→Modify nPartition action, and select the Add/Remove Cells tab. Also see "Assigning (Adding) Cells to an nPartition" (page 179) and see "Unassigning (Removing) Cells from an nPartition" (page 182). • Removing an nPartition To remove (delete) an nPartition use the parremove -p# command to remove a specified nPartition (-p#, where # is the partition number). From Partition Manager select the nPartition and use the nPartition→Delete nPartition action. Also see "Removing (Deleting) an nPartition" (page 176). • Renaming an nPartition To rename an nPartition use the parmodify -p# -P name command to set the name for a specified nPartition (-p#, where # is the partition number). From Partition Manager select the nPartition, use the nPartition→Modify nPartition action, and select the General tab. On an HP 9000 server you also can use use the BCH Configuration menu PD NewName command. Also see "Renaming an nPartition" (page 185). • Setting Cell Attributes To set attributes for a cell use the parmodify -p# -m#... command to modify cell attributes for a specified nPartition (-p#, where # is the partition number). From Partition Manager Version 1.0 select the nPartition, use the nPartition→Modify nPartition action, Change Cell Attributes tab, select the cell(s), and click Modify Cell(s). From Partition Manager Version 2.0 select the nPartition, use the nPartition→Modify nPartition action, and use the Set Cell Options tab (to set the use-on-next-boot value) and Configure Memory tab (to set the cell local memory value). On an HP 9000 server you also can use the BCH Configuration menu CELLCONFIG command to set use-on-next-boot values. On an HP Integrity server you also can use the EFI Shell cellconfig command to set use-on-next-boot values. Also see "Setting Cell Attributes" (page 189). Overview of Managing nPartitions 31
