System overview
Figure 1-1 shows the hardware, software, and most commonly used connection method.
All components are described in greater detail later in this chapter.
The most common setup for nPartition management of HP Integrity servers running
Windows involves a remote management station. This dedicated management station
hosts the management tools and issues commands over a network connection to the
server’s management processor, allowing the complex to be managed even if no
nPartitions exist on the complex yet.
To set up and configure the management station:
Step 1.
Establish a dedicated management station for your HP Integrity server.
See “Setting up the management station” on page 25.
Step 2.
Install the nPartition tools.
See “Install nPartition Commands bundle from the Smart Setup media” on page 35 and
“Install Partition Manager Bundle from the Smart Setup media” on page 36.
Step 3.
Verify installation of the management software.
See “Verifying the installation” on page 38.
