Choosing a management tool
You can manage nPartitions using the following tools:
Partition Manager
Partition Manager provides a graphical interface for managing
nPartitions. You can run Partition Manager on the complex itself, or
on management stations used to remotely manage the complex.
nPartition commands
You can manage nPartitions using commands such as parcreate,
parmodify, parremove, parstatus, parunlock, fruled, frupower,
and cplxmodify. As with Partition Manager, nPar commands can be
run directly on the complex nPartitions, or from a management station
used to remotely manage the complex. Also, setting the admin IP
address for individual nPartitions must be done using the nPar
commands. It cannot be done with any other tool.
EFI Boot Manager and EFI Shell commands
Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) provides support for nPartition
management. The EFI interfaces are accessible from an nPartition
console when the nPartition is in an active state but has not booted an
operating system.
Management Processor (MP) menus
Management processor menus provide a service interface that allows
access to all hardware and nPartitions in the complex. The MP is
always available, whether or not any nPartitions are configured or
booted in the server complex.
