Simplifying single-system management on HP-UX 11i (SMH) (538076-002; March 2011)

Network Interfaces Configuration

The Network Interfaces Configuration application enables the user to configure network

interfaces on HP-UX installed systems. The user can manage the network interfaces using the

different tabs available. The following tabs are available depending on the system

configuration:

• Auto Port Aggregation (APA)

• Network Interface Cards (NIC)

• Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA)

• Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)

Features

Network Interfaces Configuration provides the following features:

• Auto detects LAN interfaces if they are installed on the system

When you install LAN drivers, Network Interfaces Configuration automatically detects the

interfaces and makes it available for you to configure the interface. You need not install

additional patches to configure the interface.

• The APA tab enables the user to manage link aggregates

• The NIC tab enables the user to manage network interface cards

• The RDMA tab enables the user to reset RDMA interfaces and perform Critical Resource

Analysis (CRA) on a selected RDMA interface

• The VLAN tab enables the user to manage virtual LANs

Network Services Configuration

The Network Services Configuration application enables the user to configure network

services on HP-UX installed systems. The user can share and unshare local file systems, and

configure and manage IPV6 neighbor discovery cache using web-based interface.

nPartition Management

The Partition Manager application enables the user to configure and manage npartitions on

HP-UX systems. The user can also use Partition Manager to detect several types of

configuration problems.

Features

Partition Manager enables the user to:

• Dynamically generate graphical representations of hardware components, npartitions, and

available resources of the system.

• Perform complex configuration tasks without having to remember commands and

parameters.

• Configure and maintain the complex by performing the following tasks:

– Change the name of the complex

– Create, modify, and remove npartitions

– Power on and off individual cells and I/O chassis

– Manage cell and I/O chassis attention indicators

– Enable and disable Hyper-Threading

– Add and replace PCI devices in npartitions
