Using Other Tools for Managing nPartitions Complex-level tasks Complex-level tasks The following section describes tasks you can perform for the entire complex. Rename a server complex You can assign a name for each server complex in order to better identify the complex as you work with it. The server complex name serves as a helpful identifier; changing the name does not affect the way in which commands and utilities interact with the complex. Several commands and utilities display the server complex name as part of their output and interfaces. For example, some nPartition commands and Partition Manager list the complex name. Each server complex name has up to 20 characters, which can include upper- and lowercase letters; numbers; and dashes, underscores, periods, and spaces and " "). The server complex name is stored as part of the Complex Profile for the server (part of its Stable Complex Configuration Data). Rename a server complex using the following procedure: Renaming a server complex [par commands] From the command line, use the cplxmodify -N name command to rename a server complex. Step 1. Login to Windows on the Management Station PC. Step 2. Issue the cplxmodify -N name command to rename the local server complex. To list the current complex name, issue the parstatus -X command. NOTE You must include the correct remote administration options when issuing par commands (-h and -g for IPMI over LAN connections; -h and -u for WBEM/WMI connections). For a complete explanation of these options, refer to the command description in "nPartition Commands Reference" on page 109. CAUTION Unlock complex profile entries The Complex Profile is a set of data that determines how hardware is assigned to and used by nPartitions in an nPartition-capable server complex. Each Complex Profile entry has its own lock which is used to restrict access to the entry. In certain situations you might need to manually unlock a Complex Profile entry, for example when an nPartition configuration tool such as Partition Manager has prematurely exited before it sends revised Complex Profile entries and corresponding lock keys back to the management processor. You should generally avoid manually unlocking Complex Profile entries because doing so can result in the loss of configuration changes. Chapter 4 53

Complex-level tasks
The following section describes tasks you can perform for the entire complex.
Rename a server complex
You can assign a name for each server complex in order to better identify the complex as
you work with it. The server complex name serves as a helpful identifier; changing the
name does not affect the way in which commands and utilities interact with the complex.
Several commands and utilities display the server complex name as part of their output
and interfaces. For example, some nPartition commands and Partition Manager list the
complex name.
Each server complex name has up to 20 characters, which can include upper- and
lowercase letters; numbers; and dashes, underscores, periods, and spaces (“-” “_” “.” and “
”).
The server complex name is stored as part of the Complex Profile for the server (part of
its Stable Complex Configuration Data).
Rename a server complex using the following procedure:
Renaming a server complex [par commands]
From the command line, use the
cplxmodify -N name
command to rename a server
complex.
Step 1.
Login to Windows on the Management Station PC.
Step 2.
Issue the
cplxmodify -N name
command to rename the local server complex.
To list the current complex name, issue the
parstatus -X
command.
NOTE
You must include the correct remote administration options when issuing par commands
(
-h
and
-g
for IPMI over LAN connections;
-h
and
-u
for WBEM/WMI connections). For
a complete explanation of these options, refer to the command description in “nPartition
Commands Reference” on page 109.
Unlock complex profile entries
The Complex Profile is a set of data that determines how hardware is assigned to and
used by nPartitions in an nPartition-capable server complex. Each Complex Profile entry
has its own lock which is used to restrict access to the entry.
In certain situations you might need to manually unlock a Complex Profile entry, for
example when an nPartition configuration tool such as Partition Manager has
prematurely exited before it sends revised Complex Profile entries and corresponding
lock keys back to the management processor.
CAUTION
You should generally avoid manually unlocking Complex Profile entries because doing so
can result in the loss of configuration changes.
