Step 5. Boot your newly created nPartition past boot-is-blocked to make it active
and make its BCH interface available.
Use the service processor Command menu’s BO command to boot the
partition.
Once the nPartition is booted, you can access its BCH interface through
its console. Use the service processor Console menu (enter CO at the
service processor Main menu).
Partition Manager This procedure (Partition —> Create Partition action) creates a new
nPartition using Partition Manager.
Step 1. Plan your nPartition configuration by selecting which cells will comprise
the new partition.
All cells that you choose must meet the hardware requirements for
nPartitions (for example, they all must have the same processor revision
and firmware) and should form an HP-recommended nPartition
configuration. At least one cell must have an I/O chassis with core I/O.
Step 2. Run Partition Manager (/opt/parmgr/bin/parmgr) or access it from
SAM or a Web browser.
You optionally can specify the parmgr -t create command and options
to automatically launch the Partition —> Create Partition action. See the
parmgr (1M) manpage for command option details.
Step 3. Select the Partition —> Create Partition action to run the Partition
Manager task wizard for creating a new nPartition.
Partition Manager guides you through the steps it requires for creating a
new nPartition.
You can move backward and forward through the steps by using Next and
Back buttons. At the final steps, you can verify the settings you have
established for the new nPartition and, if they are correct for your
purposes, click the Finish button to create the new nPartition.
You can cancel the new nPartition creation at any time by clicking the
Cancel button.
