Listing the Local (Current) Partition Number
Each nPartition within a server complex has a unique number assigned
to it. This partition number identifies the nPartition in various menus,
commands, and utilities. You also can specify the partition number when
performing operations on an nPartition, such as adding or removing cells
or resetting a partition.
You can list the local partition number by using the following methods:
• BCH on page 196
This procedure (Configuration menu, PD command) lists the local
partition number from the BCH interface.
• HP-UX Commands on page 197
This procedure (parstatus -w) lists the partition number of the local
(current) partition from HP-UX.
BCH This procedure (Configuration menu, PD command) lists the local
partition number from the BCH interface.
Step 1. Access the Boot Console Handler (BCH) interface for the nPartition, and
access the BCH Configuration menu.
Enter CO from the BCH Main menu to access the Configuration menu. If
you are at a BCH menu other than the Main menu, enter MA to access the
Main menu.
Step 2. From the BCH Configuration menu, enter the PD command to list the
local partition’s name and partition number.
Configuration Menu: Enter command > PD
