HP Superdome 2 Partitioning Administrator Guide

Renaming a Server Complex
To rename a Server complex using the command line interface, run the following command from
the OA:
set complex <complex name>
To rename a server complex using the GUI:
1. Select the Complex Information link in the left navigation pane.
2. On the Complex Information screen, click the Information tab.
3. Under Settings, modify the complex name.
4. Click Apply.
The server complex is renamed.
Setting Blade Attributes
You can create or modify an nPartition and set the blade attributes. For more information on
blade attributes, see “Blade Resource Attributes”.
Setting Blade Attributes Using the OA CLI
You can set the blade attributes using the parcreate or parmodify commands. For more
information on the parcreate command, see help parcreate . For more information on the
parmodify command, see help parmodify.
For example:
To add the blade in enclosure 1 slot 5 with non-default attributes to the existing nPartition
nPar0001.
parmodify -p nPar0001 -a blade:1/5:base:n:ri:50%
This example overrides the default value for use_on_next_boot to n. This results in the blade
being owned by the nPartition, but not activated during boot. The memory configuration is also
overridden. By default, 87.5% is used as SLM and the rest is ILM. This example will result in a
blade that is half SLM and half ILM.
Setting Blade Attributes Using the OA GUI
To set blade attributes using the OA GUI, complete the following steps:
1. Select the nPartition from the left navigation pane and click modify nPartition.
2. Ensure that you have assigned the blades to the nPartition. For more information, see
“Assigning (Adding) Blades and I/O Bays to an nPartition Using the OA GUI”.
3. To alter the "use_on _next_boot" attribute, expand the Blade Attributes section. See
Figure 5-7 “Blade Attributes section”.
Figure 5-7 Blade Attributes section
4. To alter the ILM/SLM distribution, expand the Memory section. See Figure 5-8 “Memory
Settings”.
