On HP Integrity servers the -A option unlocks both the "read lock" and "write lock" for the Stable Complex Configuration Data. Cancel pending changes to the complex profile You can cancel a pending change to the Stable Complex Configuration Data for an nPartition-capable server by unlocking the Stable Complex Configuration Data before the management processor has pushed out the revised data for the entry. For example, you can abort a cell assignment change when you have issued a request to unassign an active cell but manually unlock the effected Complex Profile entries before performing a reboot for reconfig of the nPartition to which the cell originally is assigned. CAUTION You should generally avoid manually unlocking Complex Profile entries because doing so can result in the loss of configuration changes. 54 Chapter 4

Unlock a Complex Profile entry using the following procedure:
Complex profile unlocking [par commands]
This procedure unlocks a Complex Profile entry by using the
parunlock
nPartition
configuration command.
Step 1.
Login to Windows on the Management Station PC.
Step 2.
Issue the
parunlock
command with the command-line option appropriate for the
Complex Profile entry or entries you want to unlock.
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.
parunlock
options for Windows
The Windows
parunlock
command supports the following options:
-s
Unlock the Stable Complex Configuration Data. On HP Integrity
servers the
-s
option unlocks the “read lock” that controls read access
to the current Stable Complex Configuration Data. See also the
-P
option.
-d
Unlock the Dynamic Complex Configuration Data.
-p#
Unlock the Partition Configuration Data for the nPartition whose
number (
#
) is specified.
-P
Cancel any pending changes to the Stable Complex Configuration
Data. On HP Integrity servers the
-P
option unlocks the “write lock”
that controls write access to a modifiable copy of the Stable Complex
Configuration Data. See also the
-s
option.
-A
Unlock the Stable Complex Configuration Data, Dynamic Complex
Configuration Data, and the Partition Configuration Data for all
nPartitions in the complex. On HP Integrity servers the
-A
option
unlocks both the “read lock” and “write lock” for the Stable Complex
Configuration Data.
Cancel pending changes to the complex profile
You can cancel a pending change to the Stable Complex Configuration Data for an
nPartition-capable server by unlocking the Stable Complex Configuration Data before
the management processor has pushed out the revised data for the entry.
For example, you can abort a cell assignment change when you have issued a request to
unassign an active cell but manually unlock the effected Complex Profile entries before
performing a reboot for reconfig of the nPartition to which the cell originally is assigned.
CAUTION
You should generally avoid manually unlocking Complex Profile entries because doing so
can result in the loss of configuration changes.
