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

See “Unlocking Complex Profile Entries” (page 198).
“Unlocking Complex
Profile Entries”
Only changes involving the unassignment (deletion) of an active cell from an nPartition

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.
