Using Other Tools for Managing nPartitions HP also recommends that you put the target nPartition into a Shutdown for Reconfig state before changing any of its cell assignments, such as adding cells to the nPartition or deleting cells from it. In addition, the ACPI flag must be enabled for modified and newly-created nPartitions after (not before) performing management tasks on them, by running the EFI's acpiconfig windows command, followed by a reset. See "ACPI configuration for Windows must be "windows"" on page 65 for details about how to do this. Because the scope of this document is limited to HP Integrity Servers running Microsoft Windows Server 2003, emphasis is placed on the tools provided with that platform (like nPartition commands), even when other tools might also exist. For those procedures that can be performed with an nPartition command, that is the only method presented. However, for procedures that cannot be performed using an nPartition command, the alternate methods are provided (such as issuing commands from the MP or EFI Shell menus). For a complete and comprehensive description of all the HP Integrity nPartitioning procedures, tools, and topics, on all supported platforms, refer to HP System Partitions Guide: Administration for nPartitions, found at: http://docs.hp.com/hpux/multiOS/index.html. 52 Chapter 4

Using Other Tools for Managing nPartitions
Chapter 4

HP also recommends that you put the target nPartition into a
Shutdown for Reconfig
state before changing any of its cell assignments, such as adding cells to the nPartition
or deleting cells from it.
In addition, the ACPI flag must be enabled for modified and newly-created nPartitions
after
(not before) performing management tasks on them, by running the EFI’s
acpiconfig windows
command, followed by a reset. See “ACPI configuration for
Windows must be “windows”” on page 65 for details about how to do this.
Because the scope of this document is limited to HP Integrity Servers running Microsoft
Windows Server 2003, emphasis is placed on the tools provided with that platform (like
nPartition commands), even when other tools might also exist. For those procedures that
can
be performed with an nPartition command, that is the only method presented.
However, for procedures that
cannot
be performed using an nPartition command, the
alternate methods are provided (such as issuing commands from the MP or EFI Shell
menus).

procedures, tools, and topics, on all supported platforms, refer to
