Note: For Windows nPartitions on HP Integrity servers, boot paths
cannot be viewed or set using nPartition commands. Use the EFI Boot
Manager or the Windows bootcfg command to view/configure boot
paths for Windows nPartitions.
-s path
Specifies the secondary boot path.
Note: For Windows nPartitions on HP Integrity servers, boot paths
cannot be viewed or set using nPartition commands. Use the EFI Boot
Manager or the Windows bootcfg command to view/configure boot
paths for Windows nPartitions.
-r cell Specifies the core cell choices. One to four cells can be specified.
-k s_lock Specifies a lock key for the Stable Complex Configuration Data
provided by other system management tools that invoke this command
programmatically. Command line users should avoid this option.
-B Specifies to boot the nPartition. The default is not to boot the
nPartition and leave it in the shutdown for reconfig state.
-u username:[passwd]
Specifies the account and authorization to access an nPartition other
than the local nPartition.
The -h option is required if this option is used.
• username specifies a configured user name on the target nPartition.
• passwd specifies the password associated with the username. If this
field is empty, the command prompts for the password.
-g [passwd] Allows access to the complex specified by the -h option. The accessed
complex is then considered the target complex. Access is through the
management processor LAN port.
The -h option is required if this option is used.
passwd specifies the IPMI password of the management processor. If
this field is omitted, the command prompts for the password.
-h IPaddress|hostname
This option is only used in combination with either the -u or -g option.
IPaddress|hostname specifies the IP address or hostname of the
target nPartition (-u) or management processor (-g).
Example In the following example, you connect to the server’s management processor (MP) from
your management station. The MP IP number is 192.168.24.68, and the MP password is
“password”. Since you are connecting remotely using IPMI over LAN, you must include
the -h... -g... options with each command.
You use the parstatus command first (with the -AC option) to find out which cells are
free and available in the complex. After viewing that information you create a new
nPartition with two free cells, using the parcreate
command. You include options in
your parcreate command to assign the cells (-c), set the core cell (-R), name the
nPartition (-P), and force it to boot automatically afterwards (-B).
