Step 3. Modify the nPartition core cell choices using the parmodify -p# -r#... command.

You can modify the core cell choices for the local nPartition or any remote nPartition in

the server complex.

Use the following command: parmodify -p# -r# -r#...

Specify the nPartition number (-p#) and the cell ID (-r#) for all cells you wish to

designate as core cell choices.

# parmodify -p0 -r2 -r0

Command succeeded.

The order in which you list the cells is the order in which the nPartition core cell choices

are established; the first cell listed is the first preferred core cell (choice 1), and the

subsequent cells are lower-priority core cell choices (choices 2 through 4, if specified).

Rename an nPartition

Each nPartition has both an nPartition name and an nPartition number. The nPartition

name is a short description useful for identifying the nPartition. You can customize

nPartition names to help you distinguish among the nPartition in a server complex. (You

cannot change the nPartition number, which is a permanent unique identifier that is

automatically assigned for each nPartition in a server complex.)

Each nPartition name can have from 1 to 64 characters, including upper- and lowercase

letters; numbers; and dashes, underscores, and spaces (“-” “_” and “ ”).

nPartition names are displayed (along with nPartition numbers) in various reports and

menus provided by the management processor and other nPartition tools. Note that

some tools display only the first 30 characters of nPartition names.

Change the name of an nPartition using the following procedure:

Renaming an nPartition [par commands]

From the command line, rename an nPartition by using the parmodify -p# -P name

command, where -P name specifies the new name for the nPartition (-p#, where # is the

nPartition number).

Step 1. Login to Windows on the Management Station PC.

Step 2. Use the parmodify -p# -P name command to set the nPartition name for any of the

nPartitions in the server complex.
