Partition Manager Support for Remote Management Using IPMI over LAN

Partition Manager Version 2.0 can be used in this mode in either of two ways:
• Run Partition Manager on an nPartition and then select the Switch Complexes task from
the Tools menu. In the resulting dialog enter the hostname or IP address of the service
processor in the target complex, and supply that service processor's IPMI password.
• Run Partition Manager on a system that is not an nPartition. In this situation Partition
Manager immediately displays the Switch Complexes dialog.

Licensing Information: Getting Server Product Details

When you license a software product to run on an HP system, you may need to provide machine
or system details to the software vendor as part of the software registration process.
This section describes how to obtain information you may need when licensing non-HP software
to run on a cell-based HP server.
For complete information about software product licensing, refer to the company that
manufactures or sells the software you plan to use.
• Unique Machine (Complex) Identifier
• Unique nPartition Identifier
• Unique Virtual Partition Identifier
• Machine (Complex) Serial Number

For the HP-UX version: /usr/bin/uname -r
For all bundles installed: /usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle

nPartition and Virtual Partition Unique Identifiers

NOTE: Use the getconf command or the confstr() call to obtain unique identifiers. Do not
use the uname -i command, which does not report unique IDs for nPartition systems.
In order to guarantee compatibility on current and future platforms, use the interfaces to getconf(1)
and confstr(3C) to retrieve unique machine identifiers.
The interfaces include the _CS_PARTITION_IDENT and _CS_MACHINE_IDENT parameters:
• For a nPartition-specific or a virtual partition-specific unique ID use this command:
/usr/bin/getconf _CS_PARTITION_IDENT
The unique partition identifier value for a virtual partition environment has virtual
partition-specific data added that does not appear for an equivalent non-vPars environment.
See the examples that follow.
• For a complex-specific unique ID use this command:
/usr/bin/getconf _CS_MACHINE_IDENT
On cell-based HP PA-RISC servers, the complex, nPartition, and virtual partition unique IDs are
based in part on the machine serial number.
To retrieve the machine serial through these interfaces, specify the _CS_MACHINE_SERIAL
parameter to them.
/usr/bin/getconf _CS_MACHINE_IDENT
/usr/bin/getconf _CS_PARTITION_IDENT
/usr/bin/getconf _CS_PARTITION_IDENT
/usr/bin/getconf _CS_MACHINE_SERIAL and
/usr/sbin/parstatus -X
/usr/bin/getconf MACHINE_MODEL and
