nPartition Administrator's Guide, Second Edition

Table 6-1 nPartition Configuration Task Summaries (continued)
SummaryTask
• NOTE: This coverage of remote nPartition administration addresses features of HP
Integrity Superdome, rx8620, and rx7620 servers.
• Service Processor (MP or GSP): Remote security features.
— SO command — Set MP security, including IPMI password.
— SA command — Set MP network access, including IMPI LAN.
— PARPERM command — Set nPartition Configuration Privilege.
• HP-UX B.11.23 and HP-UX B.11.31: Features affecting remote administration.
— The /opt/wbem/sbin/cimconfig command lists and sets CIM Server
configuration properties, which determine the types of users and connections
permitted. To list the current properties: cimconfig -l -c command.
— The /opt/wbem/sbin/cimserver command starts and stops the CIM Server.
To stop the CIM Server: cimserver -s command; to start the CIM Server:
cimserver command.
— The /opt/wbem/bin/cimprovider command lists, enables, disables, or removes
CIM provider modules, such as HP_NParProviderModule. To list CIM provider
modules: cimprovider -l -s command.
— The WBEM Services SSL certificates files (client.pem, server.pem) determine
whether a client is trusted to connect to a server.
◦ /var/opt/wbem/client.pem file — The Trust Store file on the local system,
which contains a CERTIFICATE entry from every server to which it is trusted
to connect.
◦ /var/opt/wbem/server.pem file — Contains the PRIVATE KEY and
CERTIFICATE entry for the local system.
— The /opt/parmgr/bin/parmgr command starts or stops the HP-UX
Tomcat-based Servlet Engine, in which Partition Manager runs. To start: parmgr
-s start; to stop: parmgr -s stop; to check status: parmgr -s status; to
restart: parmgr -s restart.
Configuring Remote
Administration
• CAUTION: These commands should only be used when recovering from a hung
complex reconfiguration.
• Service Processor (MP or GSP): RL command.
• HP-UX: parunlock command.
See “Unlocking Complex Profile Entries” (page 198).
“Unlocking Complex
Profile Entries”
Only changes involving the unassignment (deletion) of an active cell from an nPartition
can practically be canceled.
• Service Processor (MP or GSP): RL command.
• HP-UX: parunlock command.
See “Canceling Pending Changes to the Complex Profile” (page 199).
“Canceling Pending
Changes to the Complex
Profile”
• NOTE: All nPartitions in the complex must be inactive (put in a shutdown for reconfig
state) before restoring a prior complex profile.
• Service Processor (MP or GSP): CC command, L option.
Restoring the Prior
Complex Profile
Creating a Genesis Partition
Creating a Genesis Partition overwrites all nPartition-related complex profile data for the server
and establishes one single-cell nPartition.
Procedure 6-1 Genesis Partition Creation (Service Processor)
Use the CC command and G option at the service processor Command menu to create a Genesis
Partition on a cell-based server.
