Partition Manager Support for Remote Management Using IPMI over LAN Partition Manager Version 2.0 can be used in this mode in either of two ways: • Run Partition Manager on an nPartition and then select the Switch Complexes task from the Tools menu. In the resulting dialog enter the hostname or IP address of the service processor in the target complex, and supply that service processor's IPMI password. • Run Partition Manager on a system that is not an nPartition. In this situation Partition Manager immediately displays the Switch Complexes dialog. Licensing Information: Getting Server Product Details When you license a software product to run on an HP system, you may need to provide machine or system details to the software vendor as part of the software registration process. This section describes how to obtain information you may need when licensing non-HP software to run on a cell-based HP server. For complete information about software product licensing, refer to the company that manufactures or sells the software you plan to use. • Unique Machine (Complex) Identifier /usr/bin/getconf _CS_MACHINE_IDENT • Unique nPartition Identifier /usr/bin/getconf _CS_PARTITION_IDENT • Unique Virtual Partition Identifier /usr/bin/getconf _CS_PARTITION_IDENT • Machine (Complex) Serial Number /usr/bin/getconf _CS_MACHINE_SERIAL and /usr/sbin/parstatus -X • Server (Complex) Product Number /usr/sbin/parstatus -X • Machine (Complex) Hardware Model /usr/bin/getconf MACHINE_MODEL and /usr/bin/model • HP-UX Version and Installed Bundles For the HP-UX version: /usr/bin/uname -r For all bundles installed: /usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle nPartition and Virtual Partition Unique Identifiers NOTE: Use the getconf command or the confstr() call to obtain unique identifiers. Do not use the uname -i command, which does not report unique IDs for nPartition systems. In order to guarantee compatibility on current and future platforms, use the interfaces to getconf(1) and confstr(3C) to retrieve unique machine identifiers. The interfaces include the _CS_PARTITION_IDENT and _CS_MACHINE_IDENT parameters: • For a nPartition-specific or a virtual partition-specific unique ID use this command: /usr/bin/getconf _CS_PARTITION_IDENT The unique partition identifier value for a virtual partition environment has virtual partition-specific data added that does not appear for an equivalent non-vPars environment. See the examples that follow. • For a complex-specific unique ID use this command: /usr/bin/getconf _CS_MACHINE_IDENT On cell-based HP PA-RISC servers, the complex, nPartition, and virtual partition unique IDs are based in part on the machine serial number. To retrieve the machine serial through these interfaces, specify the _CS_MACHINE_SERIAL parameter to them. Licensing Information: Getting Server Product Details 47
