nPartition Provider
The nPartition Provider version B.01.07 is the HP-UX WBEM Services provider for
nPartition-related information on partitionable systems. This product is used by Partition Manager
and the partition commands to configure and manage HP systems that support nPartitions. With
this component, partitionable systems can be managed both locally and remotely. The nPartition
Provider product is only used through a WBEM interface. It is not invoked directly by the user.
Summary of Change
nPartition Provider has been updated to version B.01.07 to incorporate defect fixes.
Impact
There is no impact.
Compatibility
There are no known compatibility issues.
Performance
You should be aware of the following items that may affect performance:
• When managing a remote partitionable complex, the performance degrades when the
connection traverses long network distances, e.g., managing a partitionable complex in
California from a system in New York. Furthermore, when managing a remote system,
performance can be improved by connecting to an nPartition Provider on the remote system,
rather than connecting directly to the system's service processor.
• The nPartition provider maintains a cache of information about systems being managed.
This cache is cleared when the nPartition Provider is unloaded by the CIM server.
Performance may be reduced when managing a system for the first time, or immediately
after the CIM server has been restarted. Subsequent management sessions of the same system
will be faster.
