2. From the command line, issue the cplxmodify -N name command to rename the local
server complex.
To list the current complex name, issue the parstatus -X command.
NOTE: You must include the correct remote administration options when issuing par
commands (-h and -g for IPMI over LAN connections; -h and -u for WBEM/WMI
connections). For a complete explanation of these options, see the command description in
“nPartition Commands Reference” (page 89).
Unlock complex profile entries
The Complex Profile is a set of data that determines how hardware is assigned to and used by
nPartitions in an nPartition-capable server complex. Each Complex Profile entry has its own
lock, which is used to restrict access to the entry.
In certain situations, you might have to manually unlock a Complex Profile entry, for example,
when an nPartition configuration tool such as Partition Manager prematurely exits before it
sends revised Complex Profile entries and corresponding lock keys back to the management
processor (MP).
CAUTION: Avoid manually unlocking Complex Profile entries because doing so can result in
the loss of configuration changes.
Procedure 4-2 Complex profile unlocking [nPartition commands]
Unlock a Complex Profile entry using the following procedure:
1. Log in to Windows on the management station PC.
2. Issue the parunlock command with the command-line option appropriate for the Complex
Profile entry or entries you want to unlock.
NOTE: You must include the correct remote administration options when issuing nPartition
commands (-h and -g for IPMI over LAN connections; -h and -u for WBEM/WMI
connections). For a complete explanation of these options, see the command description in
“nPartition Commands Reference” (page 89).
parunlock options for Windows The Windows parunlock command supports the
following options:
-s Unlock the Stable Complex Configuration Data. On HP Integrity servers, the -s
option unlocks the “read lock” that controls read access to the current Stable Complex
Configuration Data. See also the -P option.
-d Unlock the Dynamic Complex Configuration Data.
-p# Unlock the Partition Configuration Data for the nPartition whose number (#) is
specified.
-P Cancel any pending changes to the Stable Complex Configuration Data. On HP
Integrity servers, the -P option unlocks the “write lock” that controls write access to
a modifiable copy of the Stable Complex Configuration Data. See also the -s option.
-A Unlock the Stable Complex Configuration Data, Dynamic Complex Configuration
Data, and the Partition Configuration Data for all nPartitions in the complex. On HP
Integrity servers, the -A option unlocks both the “read lock” and “write lock” for the
Stable Complex Configuration Data.
