If an error is reported when you attempt to connect using this option, check to see that
IPMI LAN access has not been disabled on the remote service processor. Access to the
complex via IPMI over LAN can be enabled or disabled by logging on to the service proces-
sor and using the SA command from the Command Menu.
The -u and -g options are mutually exclusive.
SECURITY WARNING: Specifying the password directly on the command line may pose a
security risk in your environment. The
ps
or other related commands can be invoked in
such a way as to display the command line of a process. In this situation, any authenti-
cated user on the system can potentially see the password while the process is executing.
Hence, it is highly recommended not to specify the password on the command line, and
instead allow the command to prompt for the password.
Note: Specifying passwd on the command line will not be supported in future releases.
-b path Specifies the primary boot path. path specifies a physical hardware path. Note: On
Itanium-based platforms, boot paths cannot be set or modified on a non-local partition. You
must use the SP console interface to set any boot path of the newly created partition.
-t path Specifies the alternate boot path. path specifies a physical hardware path. Note: On
Itanium-based platforms, boot paths cannot be set or modified on a non-local partition. You
must use the SP console interface to set any boot path of the newly created partition.
-s path Specifies the secondary boot path. path specifies a physical hardware path. Note: On
Itanium-based platforms, boot paths cannot be set or modified on a non-local partition. You
must use the SP console interface to set any boot path of the newly created partition.
-r cell Specifies the core cell choices. A core cell choice is a configured cell which has attached core
IO. If the core cell of a partition is deleted then the firmware will select the first core cell
choice as the next core cell. One to four core cell choices can be specified. The first cell
specified is the first core cell choice, the second cell specified is the second core cell choice,
the third cell specified is the third core cell choice and the fourth cell specified is the fourth
core cell choice.
A cell can be specified either in the local (cabinet#/slot#) or global (cell#) format. For exam-
ple, the cell located in cabinet 0, slot 1 is identified in the local format as 0/1 or in the global
format as 1.
-k s_lock Specifies a lock key for the Stable Complex Configuration Data provided by
parmgr. Note:
The
-k option is intended for use by system management tools which invoke the par-
create
command programmatically. Command line users should avoid this option.
-B Specifies that the new partition be booted. The default is not to boot. Note: On Itanium-
based platforms this option has no effect, because boot paths cannot be set on the new par-
tition. Therefore, the partition cannot boot automatically. You must manually boot up the
partition from the BCH prompt.
-I IPaddress Specifies the IP address that should be used by management tools such as
parmgr to
address this partition. This value must be consistent with the IP address that is assigned
to the partition once HP-UX is installed and networking is configured.
-L clm_value Specifies the amount of the memory that will be used as local (non-interleave) memory per
cell. The clm_value specified using the -c option takes precedence over the clm_value
specified using the -L option. Please refer to the explanation of the -c option for details of
the clm_value formats.
-P PartitionName
Specifies the name of the new partition. The characters which can appear in a valid parti-
tion name are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, - (dash), _ (underscore), " " (space) and
. (period). If the
partition name includes space then the name should be enclosed within double quotes. The
partition name can have a maxmimum of 64 characters.
-T flag Specifies whether Hyper-Threading should be enabled or not (only if cells support this
feature). By default Hyper-Threading is disabled. The valid values for flag are:
y enables Hyper-Threading, which allows multiple threads to run concurrently on each
CPU.
n disables Hyper-Threading, this is the default value.
