partition’s name to the new name. No quotation marks are needed when

HP-UX Commands This procedure checks and sets the partition name for the local partition
or for remote partitions using the parmodify command.
Step 1. List the current partition states and names using the parstatus -P
command.
This shows all partitions, their current status (active or inactive) and
their partition numbers and partition names.
Step 2. Using the parmodify command, set the partition name for either the
local partition or for a remote partition.
If the partition is successfully renamed, parmodify reports that the
“Command succeeded”.
If the partition name contains blank spaces then quotation marks must
surround the name.
