Partition Manager (parmgr) (new)

Partition Manager (parmgr) is a new system administration tool that

supports the initial andongoing conﬁguration of Superdome systems and

also provides extensive information about the status of a Superdome

complex.

Partition Manager can be launched from SAM or directly from the

command line. It can also be launched from a web browser running on a

PC; this requires that the ApacheWeb Server (described under “HP-UX

11i Operating Environment (new)” in Chapter 4) be running on a

partition -- the URL for the parmgr launch page is

http://

hostname

:1188/parmgr/. See the parmgr online help or

Managing Superdome Complexes: A Guide for HP-UX System

Administrators, part no. B2355-90702 for details.

The functionality provided by the Partition Manager includes the ability

to:

• create, modify, and delete partitions; modifying partitions includes

adding cells to a partition, removing cells from a partition, changing

the name of a partition, and changing the per cell “Use On Next

Boot” attribute. (See the manual Managing Superdome Complexes: A

Guide for HP-UX System Administrators, available on the HP-UX 11i

Instant Information CD or on the http://docs.hp.com web site, for

more detail.)

• display a complete hardware inventory of an entire complex

• display status of key complex components

• check for problems or unusual conditions in the complex

• manage power to cells and I/O chassis

• turn on/off attention indicators associated with cells, I/O chassis, I/O

cards, and cabinets

Selected conﬁguration screens of the Partition Manager can also be

launched via the command line by use of the -t

task

option. See the

parmgr (1M) manpage for more details.
