From the management processor Command menu, enter MA to return to the Main menu, then enter CO to access the Console menu. The Genesis Partition is partition 0 and by default is named "Partition 0". You will need to set the boot paths or options, any core cell choices, the nPartition name, and other settings as appropriate.

Create a new nPartition Creating a new nPartition involves specifying one or more cells in a server complex, setting various attributes for the cells, and optionally specifying other nPartition settings. The settings you specify then are used to create a new nPartition, which has assigned to it the cells you selected. At least one cell in each nPartition must be connected to an I/O chassis that has core I/O attached. To boot an operating system from disk, the nPartition also must have a boot device and associated PCI card. When creating an nPartition, follow the HP nPartition requirements and guidelines. HP recommends only specific sets of nPartition configurations. Create a new nPartition using the following procedure: Creating a new nPartition [par commands] From the command line, use the parcreate command to create a new nPartition. You also can use the parstatus and parmodify commands to list nPartition and complex details and modify nPartition settings. Step 1. Login to Windows on the Management Station PC. Plan your nPartition configuration by selecting which cells will comprise the new nPartition. Use the parstatus -AC command to list all unassigned (available) cells in the server complex. 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).

Create a new nPartition
Creating a new nPartition involves specifying one or more cells in a server complex,
setting various attributes for the cells, and optionally specifying other nPartition
settings. The settings you specify then are used to create a new nPartition, which has
assigned to it the cells you selected.
At least one cell in each nPartition must be connected to an I/O chassis that has core I/O
attached. To boot an operating system from disk, the nPartition also must have a boot
device and associated PCI card.
When creating an nPartition, follow the HP nPartition requirements and guidelines. HP
recommends only specific sets of nPartition configurations.
Create a new nPartition using the following procedure:
Creating a new nPartition [par commands]
From the command line, use the
parcreate
command to create a new nPartition. You
also can use the
parstatus
and
parmodify
commands to list nPartition and complex
details and modify nPartition settings.
Step 1.
Login to Windows on the Management Station PC. Plan your nPartition configuration by
selecting which cells will comprise the new nPartition.
Use the
parstatus -AC
command to list all unassigned (available) cells in the server
complex.
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.
