PARMGR(1M) Manual Page Error
The HP-UX 11i manual page for parmgr (1M) contains the error described below. Note
that this error only occurs in the PDF version of the HP-UX Reference (Volume 4 of 9),
“System Administration Commands,” published on the Hewlett-Packard Technical
Documentation web site (http://docs.hp.com) in December 2000.
In the SYNOPSIS section, the pathname of the parmgr command was incorrect. The
correct pathname is:
/opt/parmgr/bin/parmgr

Summary of Changes
• Empty cell slots and empty or blocked I/O chassis slots are no longer listed as
Available Resources; they are now listed under a separate category: “Empty
Cell/Chassis Slots.”
• The printed output of I/O Details and I/O Slot property sheets has been reformatted
for improved readability.
• A
Print button was added to the Card Critical Resource Analysis dialog.
• The HA status of the I/O fans in Superdome CPU cabinets is now reported as “N/A,”
since this information is not made available by system firmware.
• Complex profile locks are now freed after an unlock failure.
• Additional PCI class codes were made available for use in I/O details filters.
• Partition Manager is now able to work around certain errors that used to be fatal (for
example, a cell reports a fatal firmware error). Warning messages are displayed, but
you can choose to continue despite the error.
• A
Show Details button was added to the Delete Partition dialog, allowing you to
review, save, or print the partition details prior to deletion.
• Partition Manager now flashes the amber attention LEDs, instead of setting them to
a steady-on state (in accordance with the new PCI standard specification). See “New
Attention Indicator Behavior” on page 54.
• Double-clicking on a cell or I/O chassis in the Create Partition Summary window
now displays details (equivalent to clicking
Show Details).
• CPU Type is now formatted as a hex value in the Cell Details display.
• When attempting to power-on an I/O chassis, the Modify Partition task now
power-cycles the cell connected to the chassis, instead of attempting (and failing) to
power-on the chassis directly.
