Partition Manager
(parmgr)
Partition Manager (/opt/parmgr/bin/parmgr) provides a graphical
interface for configuring, modifying, and managing partitions and
hardware within a server complex.
• Availability—You can use Partition Manager when HP-UX is
running in multi-user mode on the partition. You can use Partition
Manager as a stand-alone X window application (parmgr) and can
launch it from SAM. Partition Manager also can be launched from
a PC Web browser.
• Features—Provides a graphical user interface and also supports
Web console access. Performs additional error checking beyond
what the HP-UX nPartition configuration commands support. Also
supports I/O card online addition and replacement.
• Tasks Supported—Configuring, modifying, and getting
information about partitions and hardware within a
hard-partitionable server complex.
• Detailed Information—See the parmgr online help.
