Using Partition Manager Partition Manager helps you perform complex configuration tasks without having to remember commands and parameters. You select the nPartitions, cells, I/O chassis, or other components from the graphical display, then select an action from a menu. The actions available to you are always appropriate to the current view and the selected objects. Partition Manager also displays the command(s) it uses to perform your management tasks. You can use this feature to help you learn the par commands syntax, or to construct scripts for automation of frequently-performed tasks. With Partition Manager you can also view your server's hardware inventory and status. All changes are tracked and logged to a log file for viewing later. Partition Manager even detects and reports on several different kinds of configuration problems that can affect your server. Use Partition Manager to: • view the configuration and status of all nPartitions, cells, cpu's, memory, and I/O devices in a complex • create, remove, and modify nPartitions • power on and off individual cells and I/O chassis • manage cell and I/O chassis attention indicators • modify the CLM settings for cells To run Partition Manager: Step 1. On the management station or local nPartition desktop, double-click on the HP System Management Homepage (SMH) icon. This icon is added to the desktop by the HP System Management Homepage installer. It is a link to the System Management Homepage on the local system. Administrative access is not required (normal Windows login accounts should allow you to access SMH). If the icon is not on the desktop, or has been deleted somehow, you can also access SMH with the following URL: https://localhost:2381. Step 2. Once you are logged into SMH, go to the Tools tab and click View and Manage Complex in the "nPartition Management" category. If Partition Manager is running on a partitionable system (like a Superdome partition), you are immediately logged into the local complex, and all views displayed are of that local complex. If Partition Manager is running on a management station, a screen for logging into a remote partition displays, and you must enter an IP address and password to continue.
