5 nPartition Commands Reference
This chapter provides a reference of the syntax, options, and arguments usage for all nPartition
commands. For detailed descriptions of the options and arguments available for any of the
nPartition commands listed below, you can also see the on-line help by selecting Start > Programs
> Hewlett-Packard > nPar Management > nPar Commands Manual.
parcreate
The parcreate command creates a new nPartition.
This command assigns the specified cells (and any attached I/O chassis) to an nPartition, assigns
a number to the new nPartition, and returns the partition number of the newly created nPartition.
Root permission or IPMI LAN access is required to use parcreate.
Synopsis
parcreate [-P PartitionName] [-I IPaddress] [-L
clm_value]-c cell:[celltype]:[use_on_next_boot]:[failure_usage][:clm] [-c...][-b path]
[-t path] [-s path] [-r cell] [-r...] {-T flag} {-k s_lock} [-B]
[-u username:[passwd] -h IPaddress|hostname |-g [passwd] -h IPaddress|hostname ]
• The -h... -g... options must be specified to cause the command to send its management
request using IPMI over LAN to a MP in another server complex (but can also be used as a
“loopback access” to the MP in the local complex).
• The -h... -u... set of options must be specified to cause the command to send its
management request using WBEM to an nPartition other than the local nPartition (but can
also be used as a “loopback access” to the local nPartition).
The -g and -u options are mutually exclusive.
Options
DescriptionOption
Specifies the name of the new nPartition.
-P PartitionName
Specifies the IP address that can be used by management tools to address
this nPartition. This value should be consistent with the IP address used
for the nPartition when an operating system is booted.
-I IPaddress
Specifies the amount of the memory that will be used as cell local memory
per cell. The clm_value specified using the -c option takes precedence over
the clm_value specified using the -L option. See the -c option for a
description of the clm_value formats.
-L clm_value
Specifies if Hyper-Threading should be enabled (only if cell supports this
feature). By default Hyper-Threading is disabled.
The valid values for flag are:
• y: Enables Hyper-Threading allowing multiple threads to run at the
same time on each CPU.
• n: Disables Hyper-Threading (the default.)
-T flag
