HP Superdome 2 Partitioning Administrator Guide (5900-2540, December 2012)

The parmodify command provides a new name for the nPartition that is being modified. That is,
after all modifications are successfully applied to nPartition_id, it is renamed if a partition
with the same name does not exist.
An nPartition name must have one of the following non-numeric characters: a-z, A-Z, dash (-),
underscore (_), and period (.). No other non-numeric characters are allowed in an nPartition name.
An nPartition name must not start with a dash (-). An nPartition name with the same format as the
default name can only be specified if the specified name matches the nPartition number.

To rename an nPartition using the GUI:
1. Select the nPartition from the left navigation pane.
