Compaq AlphaServer Partition Manager (CAPM) is a graphical application
that simplifies the creation and management of partitions
system. CAPM runs on the SMC and, through a wizard-like series of screens,
enables you to work with partitions without having to know anything about the
console commands involved. These can be hard partitions and, if OpenVMS
Galaxy is the operating system in a hard partition, soft partitions.
CAPM uses ConsoleWorks usernames and passwords. When you start CAPM,
the login box displays (Figure 9–2). Supply a username and password for a
ConsoleWorks user. This user must be associated with a ConsoleWorks profile
that has full privileges. If you enter an invalid username or password, an error
message displays. Click OK to redisplay the login box.
After the username and password are validated, CAPM connects to the
GS80/160/320 system and discovers its configuration. This discovery phase can
take up to several minutes; the length of time depends on the size of the system
and the number of consoles that have been configured in ConsoleWorks. Do not
minimize the screen during the discovery phase or use the SMC system for any
other operation. When the discovery phase is complete, CAPM displays a
partition map for the current system configuration.
