3 Using Partition Manager

Partition Manager (parmgr) is a web-based application that gives you a convenient GUI for
creating, configuring, and managing nPartitions on an HP Integrity server. Partition Manager
generates a graphical representation of a system's hardware components, nPartitions, and available
resources.
Partition Manager helps you perform complex configuration tasks without having to remember
commands and parameters. You select the nPartitions, cells, I/O chassis, or other components
from the graphical display, then select an action from a menu. The actions available to you are
always appropriate to the current view and the selected objects.
Partition Manager also displays the commands it uses to perform management tasks. You can
use this feature to help you learn the command syntax or to construct scripts for automation of
frequently performed tasks. With Partition Manager you can also view a server's hardware
inventory and status. All changes are tracked and logged to a log file for viewing later. Partition
Manager even detects and reports on several different kinds of configuration problems that can
affect the server.
Use Partition Manager to:
View the configuration and status of all nPartitions, cells, CPUs, memory, and I/O devices
in a complex
Create, remove, and modify nPartitions
Power on and off individual cells and I/O chassis
Manage cell and I/O chassis attention indicators
Modify the CLM settings for cells

Starting Partition Manager

To run Partition Manager, do the following:
1.
On the management station or local nPartition desktop, double-click the HP System
Management Homepage (SMH) icon.
The HP System Management Homepage installer adds this icon to the desktop. It is a link
to the SMH on the local system. Administrative access is not required (normal Windows
login accounts allow you to access SMH). If the icon is not on the desktop or has been deleted
somehow, you can also access SMH with the following URL:
https://localhost:2381
2.
When you are logged into SMH, go to the Tools tab and select View and Manage Complex
in the nPartition Management category.
If Partition Manager is running on a partitionable system (for example, a Superdome), you
are immediately logged in to the local complex, and all views displayed are of that local
complex. If Partition Manager is running on a management station, a screen for logging in
to a remote partition appears, and you must enter an IP address and password to continue.
For context-sensitive help about available connection options, click the Help button.

Understanding the Partition Manager GUI

After you log in, Partition Manager displays a high-level view of the cells and I/O chassis in the
complex, and how they are currently configured into nPartitions (see
Figure
3-1).
