HP-UX 11i Version 2 December 2005 Release Notes

General System Administration
HP Partitioning
Chapter 5

Partition Manager first attempts to access pdweb using ports 1110/1188 and if it
is not running it then attempts ports 2301/2381. In most cases SMH is listening
on port 2301 and so Partition Manager forwards the request to SMH, but the
May 2005 and September 2004 releases of SMH are not integrated with pdweb
and instead generate a “page not found” error.
To resolve this issue, upgrade to the HP-UX 11i v2 December 2005 release.
Performance
There are no known performance issues.

vPar Provider
The HP-UX vPar Provider is a HP WBEM Services for HP-UX
1
provider introduced in
the HP-UX 11i v2 release for extracting information about virtual partitions on a
system. As it is a read-only provider, clients cannot modify virtual partition
configurations. This provider can be used through a Web-based Enterprise Management
(WBEM) interface.
The vPar Provider always gets the data from the default virtual partition database
located at /stand/vpdb or from the database where virtual partitions are booted from.
The vPar Provider talks to the nPar Provider to get information of I/O assigned to virtual
partitions and to determine whether or not it is running on an nPar. If the nPar Provider
is down, then it will not provide this information.
The vPar Provider uses the namespace root/cimv2/vpar. The vPar Provider library and
Managed Object Format (MOF) files are stored under /opt/vparprovider/lib and
/opt/vparprovider/mof directories respectively.
The vPar Provider is delivered as a library
(/opt/vparprovider/lib/libHPVParProvider.1) through the vParProvider bundle.
It depends on the HP WBEM Services for HP-UX product.This release of vPar Provider
is supported on all HP server systems that support HP-UX Virtual Partitions (vPars).
