16. Wait a minute or so then log back into the iLO 3 MP and use the npar command from the Command
Menu to set the nPartition configuration required for the upgraded server. If no nPartitioning is
required, then set the configuration back to a single, domain-wide partition. See the nPar
Administrator Users Guide for BL870c i4 & BL890c i4 for information on configuring nPartitions.
Below is an example of the output which could be seen setting a BL890c i4 back to a single
nPartition.

server blade upgrade kits whitepaper for more information about this option.

verify that the nPar configuration is now correct.
18. If the enclosure uses Virtual Connect, then the VCM server profiles for the partitions of the upgraded
server should be assigned now. The Monarch Server VCM server profile should be assigned to the
partition which includes the Monarch blade. Profiles which were previously assigned to existing
servers may need some modifications after being assigned to the upgrade so that network
assignments and other elements of the VC server profile match what is required. See Possible

information. If the HP-UX Portable Image tool is used (see Preserving VC-assigned MAC
