Partition Manager (parmgr)

Partition Manager (parmgr), supports the initial and ongoing configuration of systems that support nPartitions, (such as Superdome systems), and also provides extensive information about the status of a Superdome complex. Partition Manager can be installed on any HP computer system that supports nPartitions, subject to the system requirements listed in “System Requirements”.

Partition Manager can be launched from SAM or directly from the command line. It can also be launched from a Web browser running on a PC. For complete details, refer to the “Starting and Exiting Parmgr” page of the Partition Manager online help, which is installed at /opt/webadmin/parmgr/help/C/start-exit.html.

The Partition Manager’s functionality includes the ability to do the following:

create, modify, and delete partitions. (Modifying partitions includes adding cells to a partition, removing cells from a partition, changing the name of a partition, and changing the per cell “Use On Next Boot” attribute. For more detail, see HP System Partitions Guide, available at http://docs.hp.com.)
display a complete hardware inventory of an entire complex
display the status of key complex components
check for problems or unusual conditions in the complex
manage power to cells and I/O chassis
turn on/off attention indicators associated with cells, I/O chassis, I/O cards, and cabinets

Selected configuration screens of the Partition Manager can also be launched via the command line by use of the -t task option. See the parmgr(1M) manpage for more details.
