• Corrections to errors in display of cell memory and in I/O fan redundancy display.
• Partition Manager is able to detect the presence of vPars, if installed in a hardware
partition.
• On a system with vPars installed, Partition Manager can now show limited
information about I/O cards and I/O slots that belong to virtual partitions other than
the one on which parmgr is running.
Refer to the following notes from release B.11.11.01.03 for information about previous
additions to Partition Manager, including support for new server models.
updated for
December 2001
Partition Manager version B.11.11.01.03 includes updates to both the PARMGR and
PARMGR-HELP file sets. Beginning with this release, a new fileset is also included:
PARMGR-MAN, containing the parmgr (1M) manual page. This fileset supersedes earlier
versions of the manual page that were previously included with the HP-UX core manual
pages.
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
.
