HP-UX Superdome Conﬁguration

Commands—An Introduction

HP-UX Release 11i provides you with several new HP-UX commands for

conﬁguring and managing HP Superdome partitions and hardware,

including: parcreate, parmodify, parremove, parstatus, parunlock,

fruled, and frupower.

These commands allow you to create, modify, and monitor partitions, get

detailed system hardware information, and manipulate LEDs and power.

When using these commands, you can specify cells and I/O chassis using

the methods shown in “Specifying Cells and I/O Chassis” on page 137.

NOTE The HP-UX Superdome conﬁguration commands are supported only on

HP Superdome servers.

These commands are supported by HP-UX kernels built with Superdome

architectural support enabled (the hd_fabric driver).

Table 4-3 describes the Superdome conﬁguration commands and lists the

sections where you can ﬁnd each command’s syntax and more details on

its use.
