nPartition Administrator's Guide

2. Issue the the cplxmodify -N name command to rename the local server complex.
To list the current complex name, issue the parstatus -X command.
Procedure 6-19 Renaming a Server Complex (Partition Manager)
You can rename a server complex from Partition Manager by selecting the Complex→Set
Complex Name action.
1. Access Partition Manager.
For details on accessing Partition Manager or other tools, see “Tools for Configuring
nPartitions” (page 165).
2. Select the Complex→Set Complex Name action.
Enter the new name for the complex in the text box provided, which shows the current
complex name. If no name was previously assigned, the default name is "MyComplex".
3. Exit Partition Manager.
From Partition Manager Version 1.0, select the File→Exit action.
From Partition Manager Version 2.0, select Log off parmgr or exit the Web browser when
finished.
Setting Cell Attributes
You can set the attributes for a cell by using any one of the following procedures:
• “Setting Cell Attributes (BCH Menu)” (page 190)
• “Setting Cell Attributes (EFI Shell)” (page 191)
• “Setting Cell Attributes (nPartition Commands)” (page 192)
• “Setting Cell Attributes (Partition Manager)” (page 194)
Each cell assigned to an nPartition has attributes including use-on-next-boot that determine how
the cell is used within the nPartition. On servers based on the HP sx1000 chipset or HP sx2000
chipset, each cell also has a cell local memory attribute that determines the amount of memory
on the cell that is not interleaved.
CAUTION: Memory configured as cell local memory only can be used by operating systems
that support it.
Any memory configured as cell local memory is unusable when an nPartition runs an operating
system that does not support it.
NOTE: Changing a cell use-on-next-boot attribute may be restricted on any server complex
that is under an Instant Capacity contract.
NOTE: After changing cell attributes, in order to use the new settings you must reboot the
nPartition to which the cell is assigned (HP-UX: shutdown -r; Windows: shutdown /r; Linux:
shutdown -r time; OpenVMS: @SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN with an automatic system reboot).
If modifying an inactive cell to be active, perform a reboot for reconfig (HP-UX: shutdown -R;
Windows: shutdown /r; Linux: shutdown -r time; OpenVMS: @SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN
with an automatic system reboot).
Procedure 6-20 Setting Cell Attributes (BCH Menu)
From the BCH Configuration Menu, use the CELLCONFIG command to list or set the
use-on-next-boot value for each cell in the local nPartition. The BCH Menu is available only on
HP 9000 systems.
