HP-UX nPartition Commands Release Notes Version B.11.31.1203 (5900-2137; March 2012)

HP-UX nPartition Commands overview
HP-UX nPartition Commands is a set of commands for managing and providing information about
the HP nPartition servers. These commands exist on various server models such as HP Integrity
NonStop Server (Yosemite) and Integrity mid-range or high-end server (Pinnacles). Cell-based HP
servers enable you to configure a single server complex as one large system or as multiple smaller
systems by configuring nPartitions. Each nPartition defines a subset of server hardware resources
to be used as an independent system environment. You can use nPar commands to reconfigure
nPartition definitions for a server without physically modifying the server hardware configuration.
