Partition Manager (parmgr) (new)

Partition Manager (parmgr) is a new system administration tool that supports the initial and ongoing configuration of Superdome systems and also provides extensive information about the status of a Superdome complex.

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; this requires that the ApacheWeb Server (described under “HP-UX 11i Operating Environment (new)” in Chapter 4) be running on a partition -- the URL for the parmgr launch page is http://hostname:1188/parmgr/. See the parmgr online help or Managing Superdome Complexes: A Guide for HP-UX System Administrators, part no. B2355-90702 for details.

The functionality provided by the Partition Manager includes the ability to:

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. (See the manual Managing Superdome Complexes: A Guide for HP-UX System Administrators, available on the HP-UX 11i Instant Information CD or on the http://docs.hp.com web site, for more detail.)
display a complete hardware inventory of an entire complex
display 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.




	NOTE: Partition Manager includes online help that is displayable within a web browser. In this release of Partition Manager, the online help will only display correctly in the Netscape™ web browser, version 4 or later. An appropriate version of Netscape is included in the Operating Environment (OE) bundle that is shipped with this release of HP-UX. Please install the OE bundle on any machine running Partition Manager for full access to the online help.
