Naming and Renaming Partitions
You can name and rename partitions using the methods described here.
Only the local partition, or inactive remote partitions, can be renamed.
Partition names are used, in addition to partition numbers, in various
reports and menus that the Guardian Service Processor (GSP) and the
HP-UX partition tools provide.
BCH This procedure checks and sets the local partition’s name using the BCH
menu’s PD command, which is available from the BCH configuration
menu.
Step 1. Log in to the Guardian Service Processor (GSP) for the Superdome
server where the partition resides.
Step 2. Access the partition’s console.
From the GSP main menu, enter CO to access the console menu and
select the partition.
If necessary, type ^ecf (Control-e c f) to get write access for the console.
Note that if the partition is booted to HP-UX, you should instead use the
HP-UX command method of modifying the partition name.
Step 3. Access the BCH interface’s configuration menu.
From the main menu, enter CO to access the configuration menu.
If at another menu, enter MA to access the main menu, then CO.
Step 4. At the BCH configuration menu, use the PD command to check and set
the local partition’s name.
You can perform this task using the BCH interface,
HP-UX commands, or Partition Manager.
