NAME

parmgr — partition manager

SYNOPSIS

/opt/parmgr/bin/parmgr [ [-t task] [optional_params] ]

DESCRIPTION

The parmgr command provides a single access point to the SuperDome configuration toolset to perform partition administration tasks. Omitting all parameters launches the Partition Manager configuration tool interface.

Partition Manager can also be launched from SAM on SuperDome systems.

parmgr requires superuser (user root) privileges to execute successfully.

parmgr does not provide a terminal interface as provided with SAM.

Use one of these parmgr task options to launch a configuration task:

-h: Display usage instructions.
-t create: Create new partition.
-t modify: Modify an existing partition. Requires a -p par_id argument. See below.
-t cell_details: Display cell details sheet. Requires a -c cell_num argument. See below.
-t par_details: Display partition details sheet. Requires a -p par_id argument. See below.
-t io_details: Display I/O chassis details sheet. Requires -i io_chassis_num arguments. See below.
-t complex_details: Display SuperDome complex details sheet.

Available optional_params are:

-p par_id: Partition number.
-c cell_num: Cell number. Specify either in the local (cabinet_id/slot_num) or global (cell_ID) format.
-i io_chassis_num: The I/O chassis number. Must be specified in the form: cabinet_id/bay_num/chassis_num

EXAMPLES

Run Partition Manager as root:

/opt/parmgr/bin/parmgr 

Create a new partition:

parmgr -t create 

Modify existing partition number 5:

parmgr -t modify -p 5 

Start the partition details sheet for partition 5:

parmgr -t cell_details -c 1/0

DEPENDENCIES

parmgr runs in an X Window environment.

parmgr requires a minimum of 16 MB of internal memory. More swap space may be required depending on other applications running concurrently.

Partition Manager includes online help that is displayed in a Web browser. In this release of Partition Manager, the online help will only display correctly in the Netscape[tm] web browser, version 4 or later. An appropriate version of Netscape is included in the HP-UX 11i Operating Environment (OE) bundle. For full access to the online help, the OE bundle should be installed on each system running Partition Manager.
