2 Partitioning in HP Superdome 2

Onboard Administrator and Partition Management

This chapter provides information on managing partitions – hard partitions (nPartitions) and virtual
partitions (vPars v5) – using the Onboard Administrator.
The OA supports both a GUI as well as a CLI. You can log in to the OA GUI by entering the
appropriate URL in the web browser. The URL must include the hostname or IP address of the OA.
Partitions on HP Superdome 2 systems support HP-UX 1 1i v3 operating environments.
The OA GUI enables you to manage nPartitions and vPars. The OA GUI runs on OA hardware,
and enables you to completely manage an HP Superdome 2 system, including managing nPartitions
and vPars, from a single interface. The OA GUI replaces the Partition Manager application in the
legacy superdome.
For detailed information about using the OA GUI, see the HP Superdome 2 Onboard Administrator
User Guide. For information about using the OA CLI, see the HP Superdome 2 Onboard
Administrator Command Line Interface User Guide.

Accessing the OA

You can configure and manage partitions using the Onboard Partition Manager.
The Onboard Partition Manager is a set of tools integrated with the HP Superdome 2 Onboard
Administrator. The tools consist of both command line and graphical user interfaces. The Onboard
Administrator Partition Management GUI replaces the legacy ParMgr GUI which ran on an operating
system in a partition. The Onboard Partition Manager tools are a complete set of nPartition and
vPar management tools providing nPartition and vPar administration capabilities as well as many
other enhancements over ParMgr. The OA GUI is accessible from the partition side through SMH.
