nPartition Administrator's Guide

NOTE: You can remotely perform this task using remote administration options supported by
the Enhanced nPartition Commands or Partition Manager Version 2.0. Remote administration
is supported by the Partition Manager ToolsSwitch Complexes action and by the nPartition
command -u... -h... options or -g... -h... options.
For details see “Tools for Configuring nPartitions” (page 165).
1. Login to a system with the nPartition commands installed.
If using remote administration features to rename an nPartition in a complex, you can login
to any system with Enhanced nPartition Commands installed.
2. Use the parmodify -p# -P name command to set the nPartition name for any of the
nPartitions in the server complex.
Specify both the nPartition number (-p#, where # is the nPartition number) and the new
name for the nPartition (-P name).
If the nPartition name contains spaces then quotation marks must surround the name.
# parmodify -p1 -P "New Name"
Command succeeded.
#
You can list the new name of the nPartition by using the parstatus -p# command (where
# is the nPartition number) or parstatus -P.
Procedure 6-16 Renaming an nPartition (Partition Manager)
You can change an nPartition name by using Partition Manager. Select an nPartition, then select
either the PartitionModify Partition action (Partition Manager Version 1.0) or the
nPartitionModify nPartition action (Partition Manager Version 2.0). Then use the General
tab to rename the nPartition.
1. Access Partition Manager.
For details on accessing Partition Manager or other tools, see “Tools for Configuring
nPartitions” (page 165).
2. Select the nPartition you want to rename, then perform the actions to rename it.
From Partition Manager Version 1.0, select the PartitionModify Partition action and use
the General tab to rename the nPartition.
From Partition Manager Version 2.0, select the nPartitionModify nPartition action and
use the General tab to rename the nPartition.
3. Exit Partition Manager.
From Partition Manager Version 1.0, select the FileExit action.
From Partition Manager Version 2.0, select Log off parmgr or exit the Web browser when
finished.
Renaming a Server Complex
You can rename a server complex by using any one of the following procedures:
“Renaming a Server Complex (Service Processor)” (page 189)
“Renaming a Server Complex (nPartition Commands)” (page 189)
“Renaming a Server Complex (Partition Manager)” (page 190)
You can assign a name for each server complex in order to better identify the complex as you
work with it. The server complex name serves as a helpful identifier; changing the name does
not affect the way in which commands and utilities interact with the complex.
