Committing A Partition Map - Compaq AlphaServer GS80 User Manual

The default file extension is .PMF (partition management file). The default
(and recommended) location is c:\smc\capm\maps. When CAPM is launched
from the SMC Web page, c:\smc\capm\maps is the only location available for
saving or loading a partition management file.
Validating a Partition Map
To have CAPM evaluate a partition map and determine if it is valid, in the
Create or Modify a Partition Map screen click the Validate button. A message
confirms that the partition map is valid (Figure 4–18) or indicates that it is not
valid.

Committing a Partition Map

To commit the partition map to the GS80/160/320 system, in the Create or
Modify a Partition Map screen click the Commit button. If the map has not
been saved to a file, a message displays asking you to do so.
When you click Commit, CAPM first validates the configuration, then it applies
the map to the GS80/160/320 system and restarts the system. A status box
displays (Figure 4–19), showing the progress of the commit, and the commit
status is written to the log file. (See Section 4.6.)
