Chapter 4

This update to Partition Manger includes the following major improvements:
• support for new HP server systems
• operability on partitions with HP Virtual Partitions (vPars) installed
• improvements to the online help
• various bug fixes and enhancements, including the following:
— Messages and online help associated with card OLAR (online addition and
replacement of I/O cards) have been improved for readability and clarity.
— Messages and online help associated with partition shutdown and reboot
procedures have been improved for readability and clarity, and to accommodate
the special needs of partitions that are running vPars.
— An error was fixed that could cause a hang on systems with a kernel that is not
properly configured for OLAR.
— Partition Manager now displays limited information about PCI cards that are
installed in remote partitions and inactive I/O chassis, instead of reporting
“unknown card.”
— The I/O Details Notes tab now shows additional messages when I/O information
is unavailable or incomplete.
— The dependency on library patches has been removed. Therefore, the current
release of Partition Manager can be installed on any HP-UX 11i system,
regardless of the patch level.
— The
Empty Cell/Chassis Slots container object has been renamed to Empty
Cell/IOChassis Slots
.
